Everyone has been there: they see something strange or interesting, and they immediately go online to find out more about it. Unbeknownst to one person, it was a little metal spoon that aroused their interest and introduced them to the expansive and unexpected realm of Reddit.

Imagine this: a little metal spoon that seemed to beggar its own function. A mix of confusion and humor hit the discoverer as he turned to Reddit for answers. They had no idea that Reddit was about to go on a hilarious and speculative adventure.

Everyone knows that Reddit is a great place to get interesting, offbeat, and sometimes humorous comments. Because of this, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that some commenters felt the need to add some comedy to the mystery. A gnome teaspoon, huh? One Reddit member joked, “It’s great for stirring invisible potions and making gnome-sized meals tasty,” displaying the characteristic vintage wit of the community.
