That’s right, currently an exclusive with ThinkGeek.com you can have your very own Starfleet issued Spork to use on the Enterprise’s Mess Hall.

Made from pure Titanium, this special edition Spork has the Starfleet emblem engraved on it. Only 1701 of these were made. The special edition Spork is probably sold out as of this posting, but the manufacturers are releasing a non-serialized version very soon.

Get yours just in time for the new Star Trek Movie on May 8.

Records show patent requests for a “spoon” and “fork” combination in the 1870’s. Over the years the Spork has been made out of stainless steel, silver, aluminum, titanium, and polycarbonate plastic.

Mostly you will find Sporks at restaurants and institutional houses.My first spork experience was when I was a child and had my first Kentucky Fried Chicken. Back then you also got a moist towelette to go with your spork and napkin.

It’s nice to know that the Spork will live thru to at least the 23rd Century!
