When the plastic falls apart, when it bends, sometimes a dent on a spoon makes it unusable… Sometimes it falls behind the dishwasher and is forgotten forever…
For metal forks, the tines could get all bent out of wack, or one could break off… The fork could rust or become stained or otherwise unsafe for eating.
I had a friend that when he first moved into his own place, he bought the cheapest flatware he possibly could. He left them to soak in the sink overnight and they were showing signs of rust when he finally went to clean them.
That sucked for him, but he kinda asked for it by buying cheap metal flatware. At least get stainless steel. Doesn’t have to be good stainless, just something that’s stainless.
All the ‘bad’ forks (Mostly ones that followed me home from the dining hall back in college) are banished to a cup in my house. They get used for not quite food tasks, like mashing up the cat’s food.
And it will never he broken or used up because you never use it.
When is a fork “used up”?

Ah, well I was only thinking of metal forks, not plastic ones
