I agree, and I find them useful for even non-food tasks like fishing small things out of jars, but they aren't really 'sanitary fingers' if you're in the middle of eating with them, are they? They must have at least a little saliva on them, unless you make a point of only dropping things into your open mouth?
- pengaru 3y agoThey're more finger extending isolators than sanitary fingers.
- Filligree 3y agoYour own saliva. The point is you’re not ferrying bacteria from the meeting rooms to your mouth.
- yongjik 3y agoAs a Korean, I can confirm that chopsticks serve as a great germ distributor. Their ends go into your mouth and then end up poking everything else on the table. :)
- ackfoobar 3y agoSome restaurants provide two sets of chopsticks of different colours for this reason. Use one to pick up the food, use another to eat with.
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoMakes sense, similar to a serving spoon (though not so handy for moving sauce around, which could be a plus or minus).
- tonymet 3y agoYeah i mean using clean chopsticks, and since they are plentiful, you can have one set out per dish / jar to serve – plus personal sets for guests
