Popcorn with a fork is the only way to keep butter off your fingers

I got tired of greasy hands ruining my keyboard during movie night last Tuesday, so I grabbed a fork and started stabbing each kernel. It sounds dumb but it works, you just stab the fluffy part and the butter stays on the popcorn instead of your skin. I went through a whole large bag in about 20 minutes and my hands stayed clean the entire time. The only downside is it takes twice as long to eat, but honestly that's a bonus if you're trying to stretch out a snack. Has anyone else tried a weird utensil for snacks, or am I the only one who's this stubborn?

Haha the paperclip thing is wild, I tried chopsticks on popcorn once and ended up flicking kernels everywhere.

Buddy of mine from work swears by using a bent paperclip for eating string cheese. Says it gives him something to do with his hands while he nibbles. He even keeps one in his lunchbox, which is weirdly dedicated. Tried it once and almost stabbed my gums, so I'll stick with my hands on that one. But hey, whatever keeps the mess away.
