plastic forks

Cheap stabbing implements

Plastic forks are disposable eating utensils made from molded plastic, typically found at picnics, fast food restaurants, and office break rooms.

They're flimsy by design—cheap enough to throw away after a single use.

We ran out of plastic forks halfway through the party.

Environmental concerns have made them a symbol of wasteful single-use culture.
