I’m staying with some friends and all of their spoons are this ridiculous shape that is clearly designed for the mouth of someone like Steven Tyler. I may have to reconsider our friendship.

There’s a reason spoons are narrow on the sides.

      You put a spoon that big in a sugar bowl and drop it in your tea and you’ll have the kind of crazily sweet iced tea they have in the American South except hot.

              I bought cutlery a few years ago and decided to get exactly what I wanted, not what was standard, and I not only ended up with golden-colored, wood handled cutlery that everyone else thought was hideous, I only got fully round spoons, in both teaspoon size and standard soup spoon size.

              I loved that cutlery. My old roommate… gratefully tolerates it. I just have a giant mouth and never realized it could be an issue, but even the small ones were surprisingly unpopular

      How did you get it that wrong? Firstly, it’s not “a”, there’s several. Secondly, they’re tablespoons.

      You somehow managed to be more wrong than OP, which is unbelievable.
