      Honestly, I picked up a few of those on a lark, and they’re great to have in the drawer. Anytime I’m trying reach down and get just a little bit out of a deep and mostly empty jar of salsa, honey, or whatever, that soda spoon is the perfect thing. Never used 'em to eat an ice cream float, but lovely for other purposes.

        I do the same… I have a few of these and had no idea they were called “soda spoon”. I called them “long spoon” because I didn’t know the name.

        This is also the perfect thing for these bottles of sauce that are too deep for a regular tea spoon, and the mouth of the bottle is too narrow for a table spoon, this works really well.

    The spoon type matters, mostly due to size/shape/metal composition Tea and coffee spoons are a thing because they’re made smaller to match the requisite cups, soup spoons have a deeper curve to hold more soup, serving and salad spoons are larger so they can be used to serve If you don’t care about the difference though, they’re virtually all the same

      “An iced tea spoon, also called a soda spoon or a latte spoon, is a thin spoon with a long handle. It is used primarily in the United States for stirring sugar or other sweeteners into iced tea, which is traditionally served in a tall glass.”

      From Wikipedia. I guess it’s just a long, thin stirring spoon

    I just know them as little spoon, spoon spoon, round spoon.

    There’s also the random big spoon I use for the dog’s food that just appeared many years ago. And wooden spoon which makes me feel like chef when using stir through pasta sauce from the jar.

    Say what you will, I will use the soda spoon for most purposes so that I feel like a giant eating with a tiny spoon.

      I have always loved soda spoons! I can’t explain why. Plus those shovel like ice cream spoons.

      They’re fairly large and they serve regular salad, they’re made to not crush delicate parts such as cherry tomatoes or delicate lettuce

      We use those ‘soda spoons’ as teaspoons in our house, it does the same job but has the extra utility of stirring a giant cup of milo/coffee/whatever, mixing dressings/sauces/marinades, or stirring cocktails.
