People are getting riled up over spoon etiquette and it’s the most British thing we’ve ever seen
When this inflammatory post was submitted to X account @anon_opin, its unknown contributor could never have predicted it would spark the Great Spoon Debate of ’24.
Adults eating yogurt need to use a dessert spoon. A teaspoon is for tea you monsters.

We have been loving reading the objections of the following adamant dissenters, who seem to have some opinions even Uri Geller couldn’t bend.

Nope. A tea spoon means it lasts longer. It’s not the Petit Filous Grand Prix! https://t.co/ISz34PlLpG

If you buy a separate set of smaller teaspoons, your cutlery teaspoons become small dessert spoons. https://t.co/YhR0mjx7DL

i mean, sure – use a dessert spoon if you want to scoop out the entire pot of yoghurt to eat in a single mouthful.
teaspoons are an incredibly diverse utensil. adulthood is realising that teaspoons are a spoon suited for ALL purposes: yoghurt, cereal, soup, ice-cream, tea…

You mean you don’t just lick it straight from the pot?

You have to use a teaspoon. If at any point, you need to put your yoghurt down, if you are using a dessert spoon and you leave it in the pot, it will tip over causing a mess. A teaspoon isn’t heavy enough to tip the yoghurt pot over.
