Brilio.net - Mixue fans come from various circles, from children, teenagers, to adults. The reason is, this culinary business from China sells a variety of ice cream and sweet drinks at relatively affordable prices. Plus, many people like eating utensils such as spoons from Mixue .
Mixue spoons are generally made of red plastic. Apart from the attractive appearance of the spoon, the shape of the Mixue spoon is also considered comfortable to use, so a number of people choose to keep it at home, especially among mothers, for reuse. These mothers usually use it to feed their children and function as a spice spoon.

One of the users of the TikTok account @whiznew who works as a Mixue employee shared an upload discussing this spoon. In the comments column of the video, quite a few mothers admitted that the Mixue spoon was very useful for both eating and managing cooking ingredients in the kitchen.
" My child uses a mixue spoon to eat smoothly, looks big and doesn't get hurt. HOW DON'T YOU BUIBUKKK ," said TikTok @MomOfTwo.
" A dozen mixue spoons at home, stock up for spoons of sugar and salt ," said TikTok @xyzabcdefghh.

Even though many people like the Mixue spoon, the owner of the TikTok account @whiznew explains that this cutlery should not be used repeatedly. The reason is, Mixue spoons are made from polystyrene (PS) or plastic with code number 6.
Reporting from plasticsoupfoundation.org, spoons or other eating utensils made from plastic with code number 6 are designed to be used only once, not many times, because the raw material from which they are made carries the risk of releasing dangerous chemicals .

The chemical that can be released by this polystyrene material is known as styrene. Reporting from toxicfreefuture.org, styrene that enters the body has the risk of causing cancer, eye and hearing problems, impaired concentration, nervous system problems, and much more.

The TikTok account user @whiznew, known as Whisnu, also provides another alternative for those who still like to keep Mixue spoons at home. According to him, instead of being reused for eating, Mixue spoons can be transformed into crafts or home decorations, that way, the stock of Mixue spoons at home won't just be a pile of used items.
Since it was uploaded on Saturday (6/7), the video about Whisnu's Mixue spoon on the TikTok account @whiznew has received a lot of attention from netizens. Apart from having been watched 465 thousand times, quite a few netizens were amazed and inspired by this Mixue employee's explanation.
" Mr Whisnu's mixue party deserves a promotion, you know, because he helps educate people on things that seem trivial even though his points are correct, " wrote the owner of the TikTok account @icfr in the comments column.
" Mass the video is simple but very informative, thank you!!! " shouted TikTok @chainiya.
" I happen to be eating now using a mixue spoon, I didn't change it straight away ," said TikTok @Zhafira F Iskandar.
