The spork, a clever hybrid of spoon and fork, has been around in various forms for centuries. Early versions, such as the "sucket fork" used in medieval times, had dual ends for eating candied fruits, combining tines and a spoon. The modern spork design is often attributed to Dr. Samuel W. Francis, who filed a patent in 1874 for a combined knife, fork, and spoon.
