I was given this as a gift by my nephew for Christmas, which makes this even more special than it already is being a limited edition. One glow in the dark spork is made per 1000 sporks sold and since their launch in 2005 over 10,000,000 have been sold worldwide, having purchased my first one in around 2006 I now have 5 including this one. I’m looking forward to getting a World Scout Jamboree one on my trip to Sweden with the Scouts and the 2011 limited edition.
Below is the press release from Light My Fire for the limited edition spork.
To thank all our Spork fans all around the world, Light My Fire is introducing a new annual collector’s series of Sporks. First out is the Limited Edition Spork 2010: the Glowing Spork, a Spork made with phosphorus properties that give it unusual glow-in-the-dark properties. Each Limited Edition Spork comes in a black box with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity. Also included is one of the most unusual tabloids you’ve ever seen: “The Glowing News”, a miniature gossip rag that answers the age-old question: what does the Spork do at Night?
“From electric guitars to dolls, originality can turn original design into collectors’ items,” explains Calill Odqvist, Light My Fire CEO. “Our Spork isn’t a 1962 Fender just yet, but who knows what the future will bring? This is the thinking behind our new Limited Edition Spork series.”
The Limited Edition Spork 2010 will be available for a limited time.
“The idea behind our collector Sporks is that they will only be available a short time each year and then will disappear,” adds Calill Odqvist. So if you want to keep your collection complete you have to be on your toes!”
