This "chopstick" is not solving any problems, rather it is quite a pompous endeavor in saying "chopsticks are hard, I'm going to make them easier"... CHOPSTICKS ARE NOT HARD TO USE! i've seen a 60 year old lady (caucasian) learn to use them, and i've seen 2 year olds pick them up in no time. You do not have dumb-downed cars, dumb-downed toothbrushes, dumb-downed shoe-laces... because it is already the most basic skill you can learn, chopsticks are not new... they've been around for god knows how long. when you played your first video game, was the controller easy to use? no... but after time you become more skilled... just use it and you will learn. it has less to do with strength or dexterity, and more to do with adaptation. just use it and you will learn.

It's a nice, simple design. Although, it can be seen as too plain. Maybe a colored grip would help it look more appealing to others. 2. Yes, it's been done but many designs/concepts on this site are just re-used ideas. 3. I guess it would be easier to just learn how to use chopsticks, but that could be said about many products on Yanko. 4. No, it wouldn't hurt your lips. The tips are rounded so there's no way it would hurt your lips. Good job. :) Some of these comments are weird.

It's a fun and playful new take on an old concept. Though admittedly, people touting it as "the next best thing" need to be shaken like a baby. -JT Zippy, I agree that they’ve been around forever but let’s think of this as similar to an elegant redesign of a chair, which also has been around forever.
