So the idea of this spoon is great. The skull and crossbones design is cute and the font is perfect for it. But that’s where the things I like about this spoon end. If you’ve ever wanted to be a harmless serial killer and wreak dastardly havoc at breakfast time, here’s your chance. Arm yourself with your favourite stainless steel weapon of choice and take on those unsuspecting corn flakes. Mornings really aren’t the most exciting time of the day, and breakfasts can get a little boring when following the bog standard daily routine. Why not spice up the daily grind with a bit of thrill and suspense? Instead of grabbing a plain old, beaten spoon from cutlery drawer to thrust mechanically into that cold bowl of Weetabix, pull out THIS gleaming beauty. The lettering is not engraved into the spoon, it’s lasered onto the metal. Actual engraving is etched into the metal, while this is printed onto the metal. Based on my past experiences with this kind of “engraving” it fades over time and eventually rubs off entirely.

Cereal Killer Spoon - Etsy

Anyone who loves cereal will tell you that they need the biggest spoon possible to eat their cereal with! If a spoon says “cereal killer“ on it you think of a big spoon, not a little spoon with a really long handle like the one I received. That kind of spoon is called an iced tea spoon. It’s not a cereal spoon. Not even for someone who isn’t a cereal lover per se. The spoon I received is literally an iced tea spoon which means that the actual spoon is smaller than a teaspoon and the handle is almost twice as long as it should be. It isn’t a good size to eat anything with, let alone cereal. The spoon is worthless really. The lettering on the spoon I received is hard to see unless you hold it in the light just right. Part of that is because the metal is so shiny, which is nice, but you should be able to see the lettering without having to look for it. If the lettering was actually engraved, this wouldn’t be a problem, but because it’s lasered onto the metal, it’s hard to see. The tiny size of the actual spoon doesn’t help! The idea of a “cereal killer” spoon is awesome! I can think of so many people in my life that would love this spoon, but I’m not going to be buying another one and I’m probably going to return the one I did get.
