French fries + fork = frork. Of course.

Eating McDonald's just got a whole lot, um, easier. Thanks to the ever-so-helpful "frork"—announced by the infamous fast-food chain on Monday—customers no longer have to use their fingers to wipe up those annoying ketchup splotches or toppings that fall from over-filled burgers and sandwiches.

Instead, McDonald's patrons can simply insert three French fries into this handy fork-like utensil, then scoop up the unseemly globs of guacamole or sauce so that absolutely none of it goes to waste. The ingenious solution also ensures you can maintain those all-too-important table manners and keep your fingers (almost!) squeaky-clean while still enjoying your fast-food meal.

Free when you purchase one of the new Signature Crafted Recipe Sandwiches (starting Friday), the frork boasts a completely non-discriminatory design which can be easily handled by both right-handed and left-handed customers alike. It can also be used in the dark. Thank goodness.

“When savoring these recipes, there’s a hitch you just can’t ditch: the topping dropping,” pitchman Anthony Sullivan explained in an infomercial-like video hosted alongside McDonald's Chef Mike. “This is a real problem. Wait, sorry, is this a real problem? Probably not, but good news, we solved it anyway.”

Sporting grins and a confident thumbs-up, the two used the tongue-in-cheek launch video to demonstrate use of the tool (offset with a delightful graphic of a halo), and also gave a 1-844-McD-FRORK phone number, which touted freebie frorks for the first 100 callers and coupons for the first 5,000.

Beginning Friday, May 5, head over to a participating McDonald's restaurant location and purchase a Pico Guacamole, Sweet BBQ Bacon, or Maple Bacon Dijon sandwich to get your very own frork while supplies last.

And here you thought the world wasn't getting any better.
