We were going through our pantry trying to find something to store corn sugar in. Seeing what it might fit in. We took down a Danish Cookie tin (you know the ones) and inside were 18 small plastic bowls, 3 plastic forks, 2 plastic spoons, and two plastic knives from before we even lived in our current house. They are actually from when I graduated from college FIVE years ago. I cannot give them away. It's covid season and giving someone opened eating utensils seems like, I don't know, bad business. I don't want to throw them out, that seems seriously loving wasteful. What kind of human anus just takes a perfectly good and usable thing like that and just throws it into the trash? Even the recycle is a joke, since if it isn't aluminum cans it just gets thrown in the landfill anyway. I could just use them but, and I know this is silly, I really don't want my kid to see me be wasteful by using the loving things in front of him or him feeding himself using them and learning that it's totes normal to just use poo poo once and throw it away. I mean, despite being really cool and handsome I'm kind of in the mindset of not being wasteful. Our household is literally on the path to creating as little landfill waste as is possible for two human beings and a tiny human being. I just don't know what to do? Do I just keep them forever? My hidden shame in the back of the pantry. Laughing at me? Mocking me? Maybe bury them in the desert outside Vegas?? Can I hire someone??? Like, some bad-rear end soldier of fortune or something? Do I tip someone like that? Percentage????? gently caress. I'm in this deep guys.

You can use tape or glue and pipe cleaners and make them into little soliders and turtles and they can live on

you can call them names like Spoonsan and Anthonfork and adopt them as your children and care for them for many years, you may have to bury one which is a tragedy no parent should have to experience how wretched

No matter what you do with them they're either going to end up burned or eroded into microscopic dust once they're out of your hands. Do whatever you want.

This is serious LAP. What you need to do is take your video camera and make quick 30 second videos of various lifehacks using these. Sell them on youtube for all the cash, then use that to buy fine china you'll never use.

Take forklin and show how to make them. Sell them to a 'Cool crafts with your kids!' Youtube channel. They don't sell ad well so you'll probably have to downgrade to target silverware...but it can still work out.

A bowl is just an upside down hat. As for the utensils: stack them all up then drill through the bottom of the grips. Put a machine screw through the hole and cap it off with a nut. Fan out the utensils in a circle. You now have a weapon of legend called the Meal Glaive.

you can also put a bowl inside of your pants over your sensitive area to protect the gonad during the sport of your choice.

Throw them away, OP, we promise not to tell. If you prefer to have a nervous breakdown over the issue instead, that's your choice so I couldn't give a fork.

I think ethically it would be fine to let your child have them as toys or for junk modelling. If kid is too young for pointy things, you have a handy tin to keep them in until they are older.
