Things that come with their own spoon

I’m talking about things that come with their own serving spoon, inside the pack. I’m looking at you, Chocolate Flavoured Malt Horlicks In A Box. And stuff like coffee.
I love the whole idea. It simplifies the process of making your drink. You open the box. You read the side. Mug. OK. Boiling water. OK. Two to three spoonfuls. OK. No, wait. How big is the spoon? And should it be level? Heaped? A bit heaped? A lot heaped? Oh, there’s a spoon in the box. I’ll use that one.
(OK, I know the spoon doesn’t help you decide how heaped it should be, but whatever.)
And it also eliminates the dangers of not being bothered to go get your own spoon: if that happens, then either you’re not going to make your drink, through apathy, or you’re going to try to pour your Horlicks out of the box and estimate how much two to three spoonfuls is. And you’ll get it wrong. And that will ruin your nighttime tipple.
That said, note that I’m not talking about…
Sporks. Like what you get with Tescos’ Pasta Salad Snack. But I do sort of like them too.
No, I’m not talking about sporks, I’m talking about…
Lowering the barrier to entry to the sweet, malty, help-me-sleep hot drink game.
