      they really are the greatest utensil. I’d always wanted to scoop noodles directly into my mouth with my hands, but it was so unhygenic and I’d frequently get burned!

          One of the many reasons research into the health effects of microplastic polution is so slow is because latex/vinyl gloves are themselves a source of microplastic contamination.

      Really, these are great for most things and a dirt-cheap hygiene option too. Use them for potato chips, cheetos, cheeze-its… everything where you’re tempted to lick salt/powder/sugar off of your fingers. Did we really learn nothing from the pandemic?

        I just wash my hands before I eat things, but I guess everybody is different, good for you for coming up with a creative solution.

        Fyi some cultures in nhe middle east use their hands to eat all their food. They just make sure to wash up first.

        IIRC a friend of mines first impression of a fork and knife was “such a waste of good metal”.
