ABSTRACT:
A spoon with a bowl at one end, an internal duct from the bowl to the mouth end, and a widened lip at point of consumption. The bowl is shaped in the general form of a traditional spoon. The sipping spoon permits solid food or fluid to be carried in the bowl end of the spoon and transported to point of consumption; or, the spoon permits fluid being drawn through an internal conduit to the consumption point at the handle/mouth end of the spoon. The internal duct begins at the base/bowl of the spoon, extends up through the shaft, and ends at the lip of the spoon. An internal baffle eases continued draft by suction and prevents fluid flow when the baffle is in the quiescent state.
