It’s like of like finding the prize inside a box of Crackerjack. Wait: Do they still make Crackerjack?

Weezer fans who pre-ordered a vinyl copy of the black album found a surprise inside: a spork. Yes, one of those clever mashups of a spoon and a fork.

This isn’t a complete surprise since Weezer did promise to do this back in November. There’s also a rumour that one lucky fan will receive The Golden Spork (a la Willy Wonka) which will entitle he bearer to…something. If it exists, of course.
