The Real Purpose Of The Wooden End Of Chopsticks Is Blowing Twitter’s Mind

*Rummages desperately through bin to show everyone our new trick*. This weekend we found out that we were eating Toblerones all wrong, now it turns out we've been missing a big trick with our Japanese food too. That big flat wooden bit at the end of your chopsticks that you just fire in the bin? It's actually a little chopstick footstool which you can rest them on to avoid them getting dirty on the table. Spotted on The Metro, Twitter is losing its mind over this revelation. Now we have a place to rest them when we've given up after five milliseconds and decided to use the damn fork.
