Hey ultralighters, I recently bought two spoons that weigh exactly the same (12 grams each), one plastic and one titanium. Now, I gotta say, I’m digging the feel and ‘softness’ of the plastic one, but I’m curious – is there a deeper reason why some of you choose titanium that I’m just not seeing?

Would love to hear your opinions – are you Team Plastic or Team Titanium, and why? Or am I overthinking the spoon game? 😅

EDIT: As far as I can see, the vast majority of responses give preference to Titanium, for a variety of reasons, all valid and interesting.

The only comments against Titanium refer to the fact that for some it is annoying to the touch or on contact with other surfaces (pot).

Some propose the alternative of wood/bamboo... but Titanium is still the winner for the majority! Thank you.
