Just ate some cereal, but started with a teaspoon by mistake. I quickly grabbed a table because that's what I use whenever using a spoon to eat... at home, at least. Maybe ice cream is an exception, but desserts aren't my thing anyways. Tablespoon to the face !! No fat jokes... I'm sexy.
It's complicated. It depends on what I'm eating and how many spoons of each are left. I tend to use a teaspoon when able for stuff like cereals and ice cream. Less is more in these cases. I also use a teaspoon for my ghost pepper chip salsa when able. Too big a spoonful and I burn the f**k out of my mouth. I tend to use a tablespoon if I'm out of teaspoons for above or if I'm eating beans, peas, or soups. Eventually, I do run out of teaspoons and I am stuck using tablespoons...until I run the dishwasher. It's all very interesting. lol
Life says, "small things lead to bigger things". That's how pizza delivery tips gets flipped into a transport company. Bigger can be negative too..... depends on the person/situation.
Thread brought back an early childhood memory -- maybe when I was 6-8 years old. I was visiting an old and very intimidating aunt in France and she gave me a bowl of chicken noodle soup (without nearly enough salt, btw). She gave me a teaspoon to eat it, but it was one of those really tiny demitasse teaspoons you'd get with a cappuccino. I had my brother translate to get a bigger spoon, and she gave me this enormous soup spoon that would rub on both corners of my mouth to put it in. But, I was too afraid to ask to switch back. I was miserable choking down this whole bowl of saltless soup with a giant spoon. I know, cool story bro.
Very intimidating Aunt, 'eh. She probably alternatingly undersalted and oversalted your Uncle's food all the time, and kept telling him it's normal. It's the French version of being GasLit. And while at it, she couldn't resist f3cking with your spoon.
