I did a Google search and saw: "It is a good idea as cheaper restaurants will not have forks available."

This is from 2009, so has this changed in the past 9 years?
after all you think all those instant noodles sold in shops are eaten with chopsticks instead folding fork which it's in package? it's not like fork it's some strange concept for Chinese. every Chinese eat instant noodles more or less, majority of them eat them often with fork (when on train or traveling elsewhere)
but yeah all dishes from food delivery are accompanied by cheap short bamboo chopsticks
That's interesting, in Japan you get chopsticks with your instant noodles (although they're put in your bag by the check-out staff, not included in the package)
China doesn't need to be "drier" to make the Chinese wheelbarrow we're reading about more useful, with the idea that the wheelbarrow difference can be explained in full by the presence of mud in the west.
You don't need any difference like that. It can just be a cultural map of adoption, with no real reason for it.
You just proved my point from the other direction, because in America ramen noodles certainly don't come with a fork, it's not how they're eaten.

If you look at how I started this thread, it was just as a counterexample to the poster bsder, so we can just stick to agreeing that the "same" or similar technologies see different maps of adoption for no real inherent reason. In America nobody eats ramen noodles with a fork, amd they never come with a fork.
No real reason for this. :)
What? Everyone I know uses a fork, as did I until I decided to learn to use chopsticks.
