> These are basically training chopsticks. If you find yourself using them a lot, you'll find it easier and more satisfying to use actual chopsticks. Chopsticks are cheap, easy to clean, versatile, able to be made from materials like bamboo, and more elegant than pincers.
Using chopsticks is also good exercise for your fingers. I suspect that's the main reason why they're so satisfying to use.

- kodah 4y agoI've used chopsticks on a variety of stuff. I guess the answer to that question depends on whether you own your own pair of chopsticks or if you just get them as part of your meal.
