Several users jumped in with their own theories about the spoon's history.

A user wrote, "Probably came up with some grocery product. We have 3-4 of it now. Can't recall what, but if I think of a common branded grocery item in 90s, could be a tea brand. Will check with my mom tomorrow if she remembers."
