A picture is worth a thousand ideas

I was wandering around some shops at the mall with my fiance this past weekend and ran across the items on the shelf pictured below in a store called Sur la table.

How many ideas can you generate from this image?

My brain immediately went to a lesson in punctuation that could completely change the way a story might end for a grandmother:

• Let’s eat, Granny!
• Let’s eat Granny!

Questions came to mind that spawned potential for hundreds of other ideas:

• What would a Granny Spoon or a Granny Knife look like?
• Were there also Grandpa utensils?
• What would be different about cutlery made for the elderly?
• Were these forks made for eating Granny Smith Apples?
• Would a Granny Fork be an antique?
• What position in a formal table setting would a Granny Fork be placed?
• Would Little Red Riding Hood have said “My what a big fork you have, Granny”?

The questions keep coming — and so should your ideas.  Why not leave a few of your best questions or ideas in the comments below?
