It was always a nightmare to eat food with help of chopsticks. My job included lots of travelling,corporate lunches, meetings in restaurants ..Finally i found the new way of preparing the chopsticks ready to eat with ease . Gradually i learnt the proper way of using chopsticks.
I am sharing the same trick with you guys, hope this is useful one:
Remove the chopsticks from their paper wrapper through one end,
leaving the wrapper intact.Flattened the paper and then roll it up until
it resembles a miniature roll of paper towel.
Picture 1
Hold the sticks parallel to each other and insert the paper
roll crosswise between them, about an inch or so from their
top ends.Still holding the sticks together,wrap a rubber
band around their top ends above the paper roll.
(ref: Pic 1 & 2)
Just before you end up with tying rubber band,
take a turn or two around the protruding ends
of paper roll, ts will avoid the slipping out of sticks.
Now lets go.

voila'!😊😂😆(or whatever may be the Chinese equivalent).
Now boss you have a set of spring loaded tweezers.
You can hold pretty much like a pencil. (Pic : 3)
Picture 3
Just push the sticks together with your thumb and forefinger
to grab any morsels you hanker for.
When the food arrives within the mouth range,
release the pressure and the sticks will spring open,
ready for the next trip to the plate.
Next time you visit any chinese or Japanese restaurant, take along a rubber band. For sure you will really impress the new person in next table..💪
