1. Dropped something behind the couch? Use a chopstick to pick it out!

We all know that feeling when you drop a necklace, a piece of paper, that something that's just small enough to fit in between a skinny crack. But when you have chopsticks lying around, you have a convenient little stick to pick and shove those pesky little things closer to you.

2. You don't get hot Cheeto dust all over your fingers

So you can keep your dirty secret a secret instead of looking like you just murdered someone with two fingers.

3. They're a great stirring object

Honestly, chopsticks are pretty amazing at stirring anything. Beating eggs, stirring drinks; they're pretty much a disposable stick you can use for cooking.

4. You look way cooler when you master chopsticks

OK, how cultured do you look when you can pick up a bean or a grain of rice with chopsticks? #ninjastatus

5. It's harder to shovel food into your mouth when you have to pick up grain by grain

Given America's increasing trend in obesity, maybe utensils that require a little bit more effort and thought might be helpful?

6. There isn't a metallic taste from forks

Chopsticks keep the flavor of the food intact without adding any weird metallic tastes.

7. When you can't master chopsticks you can still stab things

And for those of us that are still practicing, you can still stab things and you have more leverage by stabbing the food at different points.

8. Drumsticks.

Ok as rude as it is, who doesn't want a utensil that can be used to play every kid's fantasy of being a rock star?

9. When you don't have skewers so you use chopsticks instead

Again, the use of chopsticks as sticks but just used in the kitchen; you always have a stick that can be used in kebabs or roasting marshmallows.

10. Propping up plants

If you grew up with plants in the house but they were being taken care of by mediocre gardeners, you might have used them to prop up plants.

11. Hair ornaments

OK maybe you could be Ariel from The Little Mermaid with her fork in her hair but chopsticks are a generally accepted form of hair accessory.

12. Looking like a walrus

Do I even need to explain?
