Plastic forks. Not usually something you spend much time about (I sure don’t). What’s interesting that I’ve noticed is that there are all sorts of them from all over the world that end up in different cups, bowls and boxes of instant noodles. Some fold up to conserve space while others are simply ready to use. Anyways, every time I find a new one in my noodles, you’ll see it here!
This particular fork came out of a Unif Super Bowl instant noodles. It’s a pretty standard fork (smaller than a table sized plastic fork of course) with four lovely tines. Compared to the bowl of noodles it was designed for it’s sure small.
This one came out of a bowl of Lucky Me! Supreme Sotanghon. I would put this in the category of ridiculous, as it is so short and stubby. With its three broad tines I would think that this fork would be used for violently shoveling the noodles into one’s face and then running away. Strange.
Finally we have the ingenious fork that can be found in the MAMA brand bowls and cups as it fits in anything. As you can see, you just unfold it and then you can hear a little ‘snap’ as it locks into place. The lock is actually quite solid too and one could easily eat with this implement. Only three tines like the stubby though.
3/23/2011 So this one was in a bowl of Sunlee Crab flavor noodles. It’s longer and kind of stumpy at the end but has 4 tines! It also says Sunlee on the handle.
4/27/2011 This one came from a bowl of Sau Tao Instant Noodle King Beef Flavour noodles. Four tines and nothing really special; I mean, it’s a fork.
5/15/2011 Yeah here’s another fork. This one came out of a US Canning Fu Chang Noodle Company Pork, Seafood & Noodles Combo bowl. Nasty food, nice little four tined fork.
5/22/2011 This one came out of the Kamfen XO Sauce Flavoured one I did recently.

6/13/2011 A new one – came out of a Vifon Mi Lau Thai Thai Style Instant Noodle bowl.
7/25/2011 A new folding variety in a cup of Baijia Single Noble Pickled Radish and Duck Flavor cup. Unfurled, this fork has an excellent reach and four magnificent tines.
8/24/2011 Here’s a new one I found in a Kailo Brand Big Bowl Noodle Instant Noodle Artificial Chicken Flavor!

1/12/2012 A four tined fork. This came out of some Fashion Food XO Sauce Flavor Instant Noodles.
3/13/2012 This came in a Mamee Express Cup – fried onion chicken flavour to be exact. This is a really unique one – I thought it folded at first, but if you grab both ends and pull apart… …you get this weird and amazing four tined masterpiece!
3/15/2012 This one came in an Indomie Instant Cup Noodles Mi Goreng Satay Fried Noodle! Awesome!

I keep my Mama brand folding fork in my purse for emergencies. 🙂
surely there are many emergency cases where you must eat something with a fork, immediately.
I’d imagine so, but not for me. But then again, I almost treat my instant noodle meals in a lab environment…
