Abstract
A spoon includes a bowl and a handle extending from the bowl. The handle includes first and second bars. The first bar has a proximal end connected to the bowl and forming a resilient projection having an barbed free end and a distal end forming a hinge with a distal end of the second bar whereby the second bar is rotatable with respect to the first bar between a closed position and an open position to realize a clip for clamping for example a food storage bag. The second bar has a proximal end forming an extended flange releasably engageable with the barbed end of the projection of the first bar to releasably secure the second bar to the first bar in the closed position.
