When you get past the horror, you may realize that chopsticks (or indeed pincers, I suppose) are a great way to eat all kinds of things you might normally eat with your fingers. It's nice to keep your fingers clean, sometimes. ;)

Eating Cheetos with chopsticks is an invention that, sadly, the West is too backwards to yet value.

I'm sure by the time we get to the Star Trek era chopsticks will be the standard cutlery when replicating up some cheese puffs, though.

Haha, yep, Cheetos are exactly where I started, after seeing someone else in my office do it.
