Novelty Forks
- Extension Fork
- A long-tined fork with a telescopic handle, allowing for its extension or contraction.
- Spaghetti fork
- A fork with a metal shaft loosely fitted inside a hollow plastic handle. The shaft protrudes through the top of the handle, ending in a bend that allows the metal part of the fork to be easily rotated with one hand while the other hand is holding the plastic handle. This supposedly allows spaghetti to be easily wound onto the tines. Electric variations of this fork have become more prevalent in modern times.

Famous quotes containing the words novelty and/or forks:
“By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
“Just think of all the spare time that has flown
Straight into nothingness by being filled
With forks and faces....”
