| Abstract: |
A spoon, which comprises a sheet of plastic bags received in a bottom cap which is secured to the body thereof. Plastic bags can be drawn out of the bottom cap one by one, for wrapping up the spoon therein. A retainer ring is provided to sleeve on the handle of the spoon so as to secure a plastic bag to the spoon. Every plastic bag can be removed from the spoon each time after use, so that a new plastic bag can be used to wrap the spoon and the spoon can be repeatedly used without the need to wash.
