  What about nesting style measuring spoons?

  I’ve been saying this for decades. I’m right

    But do you want to be right out do you want to sleep on the sofa?

      ¿Por qué no los dos?

      From a set of spoons? Huh?

  If you’ve ever in your life tried sleeping the spoony way, you’ll know that there’s always at least one arm too many, plus a million other sources of discomfort (such as an untimely hardon.)

    This is such a perfect setup that I can’t decide if you are actually Randal Murnoe, but I will take the bait, and provide a link to the Relevant XKCD, as is tradition.

      A possibility does exist that I may, or may not, have read XKCD more than the recommended centennial dose.

  These soup spoons stack properly tough…

    That’s the point. Same size spoons usually stack perfectly.

  This is why I love xkcd, equal parts cozy and hyper-pedantic. Yes, spoons of different sizes don’t nest the way the metaphor implies, but who cares? “Big spoon” is emotional shorthand, not a lesson in cutlery mechanics.

  If you’re the person who insists every metaphor must be physically accurate, congratulations, you are the annoying spoon. Let the rest of us be the sleepy spoon and enjoy the cuddle without a lecture about spoon radii.

  I’m reasonably certain that my best fitting spoons are the tablespoon, half tablespoon, third tablespoon, teaspoon, half teaspoon.
