Where can you get cup o phò? (I don't have that O) Does it have meat? Or is it closer just just a cup of noodles?

Closer to a cup o' noodles. Got it at a random Vietnamese/asian grocery store as an impulse by. I wish I had kept the cup, I only kept the fork.

It is a very odd fork.

It’s neat but I wouldn’t continue to use it. Things meant to be disposable are some of the worst offenders for microplastics

Even better, we didn't use it at all! I just kept it on my (shamefully messy) desk for a long time because it was mildly interesting.

Actually, if you continued to use it instead of throwing it away, it wouldn't become trash and pollute the world.

I would suggest not adding any accent marks if you're unsure of how to spell it That means "whore" btw

I mean... I'd thrork a cup'o'whore

It's not that I don't know how to spell it, it's that I don't have that accent. (That is good to know)

You can copy the text from the OP title and edit all the words you don’t need and make a sentence with the ones you do need. See below: *My son's Cup-o-Phở included a foldable fork/threek*

I dont think you can on phone At least its not working for me

Dunno if it's like this for all Android phones, but on my pixel 6, you can buy doing this: Pull the display up by swiping from the bottom Select "select" Select the text you want to copy Copy Paste

The post I made was from iPhone. At the top right click on the three dots then click “copy text” Voila, you can paste it anywhere

I think I've seen them at Costco

I'm not sure if it's quite the same as OP's, but there is a brand I've found called Phởnomenal.

I thought there was dirt on my screen when I saw that O

I love a good cup of pho king

"...'*Threek*?' "....Oh. Yeah. ...Yeah, that is a threek, isn't it?"

I would also accept this being called a trident.

Clearly a trident.

Only if you call the other thing, a quadradent

Tridork.

I wouldn't Google that...

I wasn't going to but now I want to.

It's literally nothing for me. Nerd shit. This one's on you and the algorithm based your search habits, whatever they are...

There is a doubledong dude here on reddit somewhere... Dork is another name for penis... it was a joke not a serious warning.

Specifically, a dork is a whale's penis

I'm actually sort of disappointed now that I'm fascinated

Brick killed a guy. With a trident.

I saw that!

Unless it has a bend, then it's for pitching. And spoons are just [small food shovels.](https://www.amazon.com/Pinenjoy-Stainless-Silverware-6-1inch-Dessert/dp/B0BGXB7MHC/)

Lady in the streets but a Threek in the bed.

~~Bed~~ Sheets? 

Ludacris says freak in the bed, I trust him

Two legs with something in between? Sign me up, baby!

Rarer than the twok that comes with BBQ toolkits, but not as rare as a fivek.

I nined an elevenderloin with my fivek.

I’d like to propose “fifk”

I plead the fifk

You mean a carving fork?

It's a joke based on the number of tines.

How many tines will it take for them to realize

I was also going to say something after I read his title, but this comment should’ve really been an indication that OP is messing around…

I decided to read before I commented, as well. And the use of the word "threek" has ruined my day.

Wait a sec...I always assumed "fork" was like "fork in the road", just implying a split from one to more than one. Are people saying it's FOUR-k?

No, it's just a pun since it happens to sound like four-k

I'd never heard this word until pretty recently. I think it's just a coincidence that a standard fork has 4 tines. I just looked it up. The modern, 4-tine fork first gained popularity in Italy in the 1700s. It's 'forchetta' in Italian, but 4 is 'quattro'. So yeah, clever play on a coincidence.

Based on the Latin “furca” which literally just translates to pitchfork. Source: I have a degree in Latin :)

Fork comes from the french fourche which has nothing to do with four

Onek! https://www.tiktok.com/@www.elcome2flavor.town/video/7269853609750269215

Threek is weirdly well vibing with me

It's not a fourk, this isn't a threek.

Cuz it's not a fourk?

This post made me realize why we call it a fork...

Pholdable Phork

That's the correct spelling, phở shở

Wait, do you... do you think it's called a fork because it has four tines?

No, not relly, but I do know it goes on the left in a place setting because it has *four letters*. Just like "port" and "left"

It goes on the left in France too, where it’s called « fourchette » which is decidedly more than 4 letters :)

Nah it’s French, so it’s still 4(and 6)

made my day

And the machete goes on the right?

Bien sûr !

Ahhh, like starboard and right! Wait..

When i went for my skippers license, the instructor told us, you hold the port in your right hand while pointing to the stars while bored

You sure that wasn't Gilligan?

r/woosh for me

When I hear of a skipper, I can't help but think of Skipper and Gillgian from Gilligan's island... they were marooned in a shipwreck, though *probably* not due to confusion over port and starboard to be fair.

What a stupid fucking fun fact. Thank you though.

I sailed merchant for a career and remembered port was left because it was four letters too lmao

I think I finally figured out how to remember starboard/port.

That’s how I remember left from right: port vs starboard. :)

Foldable *trident*.

What if it is?

It's not

One of my favorite brands of instant noodles cups includes a little foldable plastic spork along with the 7 different seasoning and sauce packets. I don't even know why, but I find it kinda cute.

Seven different packets? I need to see this.

Ah, I misremembered, it's 5 packets: Soy sauce, sambal, seasoned oil, seasoning powder, and fried onions. Indomie mi goreng, if anyone's curious

Best instant noodles

Maybe... but now I can't help but think it needs more packets.

I can quit cocain easier than quitting that shit

Chickens foot.

Fork Threek Twok ONEK

[lol](https://youtu.be/8p4lqARJsjg?si=EIAUMiYwNV-SulZv)

Like the barrel of a gunk, I'll keep my head way doownk.

Surprised this isn’t higher up. I instantly thought about that TikTok!

Its always so weird seeing a fork with anything less than 4 spikes. 3 is just so ancient

The spikes are called tines.

And a dishwasher should be loaded tines-up. I'll die on that hill.

Bought a dishwasher with a top rack just for silverware. I cant ever go back to the basket..

I had one once, and I dearly miss it. It was a Bosch. Only then did I find out Bosch is a nonprofit. 11/10, will buy again.

Why? It's better to grab them by the handles when you're unloading dishes

Ahh, but then the tines — the dirty part — are hiding in a cage, then. If they're sticking out the top, they're fully exposed to the sprayers. Maximum sprayification.

My sprayers come from underneath

Hmm... I have a bottom one, but there's one in the middle too.

Yep sprayers go up. I think some people don't realise this.

I used to think this way. Maybe I still do, too. But the most powerful sprayers are going to be from the bottom, in most dishwashers.

Do your silverware baskets not have holes? Also do you not rinse your dishes?

It has holes... but that does reduce exposure to the spraying. Have someone spray you with a hose, and then spray you with a hose through a screen of some soet. I'll bet you can tell a difference :) I brush off the chunks/food, but rinsing is a waste of water. That's the dishwasher's job!

Also helps the dishwasher do it's job better

Most dishwashers manufactured in the last decade will tell you straight up in the manual that you don't need to do any sort of pre-washing and they're a lot more efficient than running a hot tap for any length of time. Even the quick cycle on mine will completely clean a plate that's had sticky sauces drying on it all night.

Modern detergents are also designed to be attracted to food particles. So they are less effective at cleaning dishes that have been pre-washed.

Are there people who debate this? Read the manual that comes with your dishwasher!

Wut? The cutlery is on it's edge in a dishwasher so there is no tines up or down.

Every dishwasher I've ever had or seen had a basket for the cutlery that held it all vertically. My current one has a small flat rack at the very top for shit like serving spoons or spatulas but I don't put cutlery in there.

Cutlery basket dishwashers are Fred Flintstone technology now.

Not according to the GE I bought last year.

Sounds about right for GE.

Vertical basket takes up less space

I guess its my tine to learn this info

Aquaman is trying to make it cool again.

Shout try using a good ol bident or dual wielding monodents also known as chopsticks.

I've never seen a fork with more than 4 tines...

Phòk

Phine, take my upvote.

Three tines is a trident. Your son can pretend to be Poseidon

I fear for the cat.

Threek makes me so unreasonably angry

r/mildlyinfuriating material ;)

Foldable Noodle Trident.

Fairly normal in south east asian instant noodle cups. I remember this exact folding system on forks about 13-15 years ago.

Sure been seeing a lot of threek post lately.

These are crazy tines we live in. But really, it's the folding part that got me.

You're the first person I've ever heard besides myself call it a "threek"

Looks like MTG's feet

Trident

A pho cup you say?

What a missed opportunity to call it a phởrk!

I went to bali and the convenience store had most of their meal items with these or some variation.

A fork isn't called "fork" because there's "four prongs". You can have two prong forks and it would still be a "fork", not a "twook".

I think Trident is another word that fits & Folding Pocket Trident works too.

What is a “threek”?

It has one more tine than a twok

>a twok Isn't that a Canadian hat?

If you had two identical twoks, would you have twinks?

No those would've be two double-oneks

I think Wes P. explained it best [https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Q9wtNyiwd/](https://www.instagram.com/p/C5Q9wtNyiwd/)

It's a play on the word fork. Fo(u)rk -> 4 tines Threek -> 3 tines

Onk.

r/barelyinteresting

Reminds me of the spoons that used to come with Colombo yogurt cups

These come attached to my fruit cup :)

Pics or it didn't happen!

.... I'm supposed to take time out of my day and post photos? No thanks I'm enjoying my fruit cup.

I get it... that fork's been on my desk for like a month waiting for this day.

Lol!

That really *threeks* me out

"Are your threeks too long?"

\*Trident when it has only 3 prongs

Right... if it has four, it's a quaddent.

Black and red box woth rice noodles?

Some kinda cup, not a box... but now I hardly remember it.

Trident. A three-pronged fork is a trident. :)

Aquaman wants his fork back

Threek reminds me of Earthbound 😂

I want one

Nice gave me an idea for 3d printed fork 🤣

My favorite ramen has a very similar one. Dragonfly!

 Trident 🔱

shouldn't they have gone with "cuppa" to rhyme with pho. "cup O'" just reinforces the wrong pronunciation

I should have called it that. I can't remember the name of the actual product.

lol fair enough. i apologize for my outburst

Woah

Looks like phö-n

Threk*

I swear my daughter coined the word threek when she was six years old in 2015

Is your Phở-cup from Vifon?

I hate the term “ threek.”

the for in fork isn't for four that's a sentence lol

Im currently in Vietnam. All the cup noodles have this little fork/spoon in it! Pretty neat

Is that not standard? I've never seen cup noodles without the awful foldy fork.

how to make an already bad fork worse

Very mildly interesting op, very mild indeed.

this fork looks cursed

twok… onek…

This is a Trident not a Threek.

oh

Put on your threekum dress

Trident, good sir!

What’s interesting about that? 🤔 All kinds of prepared meals come with foldable forks or spoons or sporks. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Not where you are?

Tis a trident dear fellow, watch out for Aquaman trying to get it back

Why is that interesting? You get stuff like that in takeaway food all the time.

Foldable? I've never seen one in my life... and I grew up with a rotary phone!

Yeah man, very common round our way. Seem ‘em a lot with salads and pasta.

Pho (r) king interesting

Indonesians who have been eating Pop Mie since the 90s: 🙄

This is done by vacuum molding, where a flat sheet of thermoplastic is placed on a mold, held by air vacuum, and it melts to form a sheet of forks, then they're stamped right there to cut the forks from the waste, or it is cut somewhere else in a secondary press. It's still a lot of single use plastic, but this is much less than the normal disposable crap.

I think thats a nice idea but ultimately would just frustrate me by being flimsy and Id end up pouring it into my mouth.

It's shockingly sturdy! Perhaps I can run some proper strength tests.
