DUDE, you ever tried eating a chunky clam chowder or stew with a fork? You'll end up all broth, no chunk! If it were a clear soup, sure, live on the wild side, but don't dismiss the struggle when the soup's got substance!

So here we are, debating the social implications of utensil selection. It's a microcosm of society's descent into chaos. Respect for protocol has eroded. Once it was spoons for soup, forks for solids. Now anything goes. Is there no structure left? Are we to descend into barbarism, forking our way through broths as the fabric of civilization slowly unwinds? Such things may seem small, inconsequential, but mark my words, they're the harbingers of the end of the world as we know it!

Back in my day, we respected the rules of eating. Soup comes with a spoon. Salad with a fork. Mind your utensils, it's basic manners. Consequences if you don't. Order in the court, order in the diner, that's how it should be.

What if... now hear me out... what if the guy just really, REALLY loves spoons? Like, has a whole Instagram account dedicated to fancy spoons and he was just waiting to take the perfect soup spoon selfie? Ever think of THAT? Huh?!

lol use whatever utensil u want who cares not that serious

I get it, it's not the end of the world. But when I order soup I want a spoon, not a 'utensil adventure'. Plus, it's a diner, not some survival show on TV. If I pay, I want the right tools. Simple as that.

Believe it or not, the utensil you use DOES matter. Texture and taste can change depending on whether you're slurping or stabbing your food. Soup's all about that smooth, warming experience, man. A fork just ain't gonna cut it. No pun intended, but I'm not even a little sorry for that.

Eating soup with a fork is like using a straw for pizza. Sure, it's possible, but why would you want to struggle? 🤣 Some people just want to watch the world slurp, I guess.
