It's time to head back to The Spice Merchant for my monthly "free" coffee.
I started on this aisle, where I found these lovely cobalt blue and white mugs. I'm glad I took this photo, because there are no more mugs today.
Instead, I got distracted by something that caught my eye.
What in the world was going on here? What in the world are "chomping chopsticks? Let's ask Fred.
This is "Genuine Fred MUNCHTIME Robot Chopsticks." Besides the robot, there are sharks, a T-Rex, unicorn, and dinosaur, to name a few.
They are for people who have trouble using two chopsticks, or for people trying to learn how to use chopsticks. Even children can use
these because all you do is squeeze. The robot (unicorn, dinosaur, etc) opens and closes as you squeeze the hinged chopsticks. What a remarkably clever idea.I've shown you mine, now it's time to share your own drink
related post. It can be
photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed
media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is
digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back
to a drink, any drink. Regardless,
please share below and Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T
participants. Please link only your T post and not your
blog in general. Bleubeard would like to remind you that old
photos are acceptable because they may be taken
any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year. Please remember to visit your
fellow T participants.
It won't be long until T Stands For Tuesday celebrates another anniversary. Please let me know if you would like to exchange an ATC, postcard, or tea within your own country (to save on postage).

Those kids’ chopsticks are cute. In cultures where everyone eats with chopsticks, somehow all kids do catch onto how it’s done, just like kids in our culture learn to use a spoon, then a fork, eventually a knife too. Little imitators, aren’t they? I know for sure that I didn’t learn to eat with chopsticks as a kid, but somewhere along the line I did catch on. I’ve been told that I still hold them the way kids to, not like an adult.

I think kids would love those! So funny and cute! :)
I like those colbalt blue and white mugs. And I was really curious about those munch time chopsticks so I looked them up. I think I could use them. :) Have a great T day. hugs-Erika
Fun!
Cobalt is magic!
Now this surprised me! Usually Germany is waaaay behind, but I saw those chopsticks years ago (we use normal ones, though).
Still: Clever idea, cute. I´d like the Rexi ones, or the LLAMA, oh, cute!!!
Have a happy T-Day, dear host!
Love the mugs. Perhaps with those 'trainer' chopsticks I would spill less. Perhaps.
What a good idea for kids to learn. Such fun. I struggle with chopsticks. On the rare occasion I go to an oriental restaurant, I use western cutlery. I think that sort of thing is best learnt as a child. I moved to Italy as an adult and to this day I eat spaghetti with spoon and fork (Italians use only the fork).
I love the blue and white mugs. They are beautiful. Nio wonder they re all sold out now.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Fascinating - hinged chopsticks Wow! 😊 The blue of the packaging definitely goes wonderfully with the beautiful blue mugs.
I also have some drink-related photos for you again - and a nostalgic rocking horse that I thought you might like 🤩.
Happy T-Day, dear Elizabeth!
All the best from Austria, Traude

Love the blue and white mugs, maybe the munch time would be good for adults who can't use chopsticks lol Happy T Day!
I can see why the Cobalt Blue mugs aren't left. I would have scooped up all 4 mugs. Happy T Day
Happy T-day. I had to ask the translation app to know what munch means....now I know. Have a good time and all the best.

I finally have a drink for you again!
Those blue and white mugs are beautiful - such a great color. Those "chomping chopsticks" made me laugh. I enjoy using chopsticks and whenever we have Asian food (which we eat often since I love to cook it) we eat it with chopsticks. Happy T Day!
I used to get similar for the kids. We eat a lot with chopsticks here....even Thai (which is meant to be with a fork! Ha!)
That's the kind of chopsticks I need:) Now that I know the scoop, I grin when you mention your free coffee;) Hugs
I'm so glad I am feeling better and stopped by today. You know how much I love this store. Have a nice day.
I am still learning (to eat with chopsticks)
I love cobalt blue and white anything;)
Have a grand one, dear Elizabeth.
