The object to us is supposed to be a single use throw away plastic. Plastic forks aren\u2019t meant to be washed and taken care of. They need to be used and tossed, that way people buy more forks (Capitalist ideal) and you don\u2019t need to do dishes (Normal thinking). A plastic fork is of course made of plastic, typically in a white or black color, but sometimes like at a birthday party they might come in a fun rainbow variant, like a yellow or a blue. Plastic forks tend to have a connection to events like parties or get-togethers, because you have lots of people and may not have that many utensils. Instead you buy the plastic forks, people use them and then throw them out so you don\u2019t have to wash tons of dishes, it&#8217;s there to save you manual labor. Most plastic forks probably end up in\u00a0 a landfill, or in the woods somewhere, sometimes in a park where a child&#8217;s birthday party was held. Wherever they go it isn&#8217;t to be used again.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The object I\u2019m choosing is a plastic fork.
