PICS: This is why chopsticks have that extra wooden bit at the end

It's blown everyone's minds...

First we found out we were eating Toblerones all wrong – and the real reason they’re shaped like they are.

But now the internet has just discovered one of the greatest culinary mysteries of modern times…what the f**k that little extra flat wooden bit on the end of chopsticks is actually for.

It’s actually a little chopstick footstool which you can rest them on to avoid them getting dirty on the table.

Spotted on The MetroTwitter is losing its mind over this revelation.
