And how many starpoints is Minerva getting for having her bag and lunch taken away? Sounds like compensation is due.

I still want to know what's different about a travel spork from a regular spork. We need pictures!

Dear Starwood Lurkers. I am a platinum member and lifetime gold. How come I've never gotten a travel spork or even a travel spork offer from any Starwood property or SPG? I think I have enabled the appropriate travel spork preference in my profile to be able to receive info about travel sporks. If I had one, I would post a picture of it.

Why would you use/need a spork when not travelling? I have visions of your family sitting in the dining room eating their Sunday lunch with a Spork!

So to answer some questions:
(1) Havent heard from the property yet re: points. I'm going to call and demand my gym bag and DVD get overnighted if they dont credit some points soon.
(2) Travel spork was in an insulated tri fold thingie (like a cheaply insulated trifold padding) that had elastic bands on it so the thingie would essentially attach to the spork and then fold around the spork to keep it clean. I should have held on to it for dear life but I wasnt thinking clearly after devouring Minerva's Chips Ahoy cookies.

It's not the same, but apparently travel sporks are popular camping items. Here's a sad story about a travel spork: http://www.backpackwithbrock.com/blo...pork-farewell/

You can't spear Spam without a Spork.

Does anyone have experience taking a spork in a carry-on? Any TSA issues?

I have a Titanium Spork. They are perfect for ice cream.

Read the reviews of the Titanium Spork on Amazon. The reviews are sublime. This thread just keeps getting better.

All hail, Minerva!

In the TV movie of this story OP flies back to Orlando to reunite Minerva with her missing lunchbox. Tears flow and the entire hotel staff is applauding. lol

Meanwhile, Minerva complains to the maids' union over the loss of her lunch break that day
