You've been using Chopsticks wrong for your whole life

So it turns out the 1,435,393,287th thing you've been doing wrong your whole life is chopsticks, at least the disposable takeaway type.

They come joined by a blocky bit at the end because they are made from a single piece of wood, which is partially split.

It's made in this method because it's easy to make, ship and tear them apart, and so you know - with relative certainty - that they have not been used before.

Then the game changed.

Twitter user 'TwiteraarTrash Panda', tweeted a supposed life hack for chopsticks on Tuesday...

...which has been covered by numerous media sources as the supposed right way to eat using chopsticks - resting them on the block so as to make sure the ends you eat with don't pick up bacteria from the table.

This has proved to be a divisive issue as many have pointed out that the correct way to eat with chopsticks is any damn way you please and that this method is simply a method.

@bortofdarkness has expressed regret for the offering, which was simply a flippant observation on someone else's image, after accruing over 3,000 retweets and likes and having been featured by news organisations internationally.

She also had a confession:

This is what you are doing to people, internet. But we forgive you TwiteraarTrash Panda - we know the Twitter game is tough.

But to the point, is this going to change how you eat with disposable chopsticks?
