Eating utensil

Abstract

An eating utensil includes a first arm and a second arm joined together by a U-shaped bend. The first arm includes a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A first finger indent is defined on the outer surface of the first arm. The second arm includes a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. A second finger indent is defined on the outer surface of the second arm. The U-shaped bend joins the proximal ends of the first arm and the second arm together.

1 . An eating utensil comprising:
 a first arm comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface, wherein a first finger indent is defined on the outer surface;   a second arm comprising a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface, wherein a second finger indent is defined on the outer surface;   a U-shaped bend joining the proximal ends of the first arm and the second arm together, wherein   the distal ends of the first arm and the second arm each taper from the outer surface to the inner surface defining angled surfaces, wherein the angled surfaces are facing one another, and   the eating utensil is made of a bendable and resilient material.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The eating utensil of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of ridges disposed within the first finger indent and the second finger indent. 
     
     
         4 . The eating utensil of  claim 1 , wherein the first arm and the second are each about 3 inches up to about 5 inches in length. 
     
     
         5 . The eating utensil of  claim 4 , wherein the first arm and the second arm are each 4 inches in length. 
     
     
         6 . The eating utensil of  claim 1 , wherein a distance between the proximal end of the first arm and the proximal end of the second arm is about 2.5 inches. 
     
     
         7 . The eating utensil of  claim 1 , wherein each of the angled surfaces comprise a plurality of ridges.
