What do you do with your used chopsticks? Poke out a mugger/rapist's eyes! What could you do? ' Stir tea. Hold your hair in a bun? Use a section as a dowel to fix a wobbly table leg? I want a challenge for 1000 reasons to re-use a used chopstick. Don't chuck it. I mixed epoxy with one tonight, It is made of strong and highly versatile bamboo. I sharpened one for a big toe cheese cleaner. Works perfectly. When sharpened they also clean derailleur pullies. What is your used chopstick contribution? We are already at 6 or 7 out of 1,000. Get creative. Used Chopstick Nation. Let it rip.
 
-My wife feeds insects to her bearded dragon with chopstcks

-we have a shower drain that sometimes gets clogged, and I keep a chopstick in the bathroom to unclog it (perfect size to get through the drain grates).

I don't think I've ever used chopsticks in my life, short of picking some up at a random house and quickly deciding they are ridiculous.

Never had sushi? I admit I like having sushi at times.

On my trip to China back in 2000, I went in a grocery shop in Nanjing and bought two pairs of plastic chopstick in black and red (turns out, the Chinese tend to re-use their chopsticks). My late wife had extremely long hair (often reaching behind her lower back). When she needed to create a hair-bun, she was rolling hair with her hands and then fixed the construction with the said plastic chopstick (or two)! (unfortunately, I have no picture what it looked like).

Sushi made by my Sheila in 2014. The black chopsticks are the ones brought from China.
 
Chopsticks in hair, yes I've seen that.
I just use my fingers for Sushi, I'm not hating on chopsticks, they are just of no use in the food I eat including Chinese, ours is too sauce based in the UK.
You couldn't have it in those little boxes you see on American TV.
I actually have a little Spork I use for everything while eating.
 
I happen to be ambidextrous. That means that I can eat sushi twice as fast as you! I use used chop sticks to stir coffee and paint, but not normally at the sometime with the same hand. We are only up to 15 out of 1000. How about splicing a broken 9 foot long 3D dragon kite spar; that puts us at 16 so far, 0.016. I love the @BlackHand drain cure, never would have thought of that! Brilliant. Can it be use to push or pull or lever stuff, what about when fractured? The splays could be used.

When the string of your sweater comes out. Tape the string to a chopstick and “thread the needle” back through the holes. Might want to break the chopstick to the desired length, but it makes the job easier.
 
Conductor's baton with spare, drumsticks, arrow shafts, pencil sharpening practice, alien probes — about time we turned the tables on those little green creeps!
