A spoon is a utensil consisting of a small shallow bowl, oval or round, at the end of a handle. A type of cutlery (sometimes called flatware in the United States), especially as part of a place setting, it is used primarily for serving. Spoons are also used in food preparation to measure, mix, stir and toss ingredients. Present day spoons can be made from metal (notably flat silver or silverware, plated or solid), wood, porcelain or plastic.
Preserved examples of various forms of spoons used by the ancient Egyptians include those composed of ivory, flint, slate and wood; many of them carved with religious symbols.Ancient Indian texts also refer to the use of spoons. For example, the Rigveda refers to spoons during a passage describing the reflection of light as it "touches the spoon's mouth" (RV 8.43.10). The spoons of the Greeks and Romans were chiefly made of bronze and silver and the handle usually takes the form of a spike or pointed stem. There are many examples in the British Museum from which the forms of the various types can be ascertained, the chief points of difference being found in the junction of the bowl with the handle.

Plot: It's 1975 in Chicago, and Gary Moten's band, "ICEMOSIS", is in the studio to record a few demo songs. The band's manager, Antwan, and his assistant, Karen are overseeing the session when they're informed by the studio owner that Matt Sledge president of a major record label, is in the building. Antwan and Karen cut the session short and try to persuade Mr. Sledge into signing the guys to his label. The musicians take this time to do what they do best... write songs, smoke some weed, and make music. After convincing Sledge to listen to the band, Gary, Antwan & Karen rally the troops and head back to the recording booth to play for the executive. There, Gary suggests that they play a new song, one that even Antwan hadn't heard yet. After hearing only half of the song, Sledge realizes that this group is truly Hot Ice, and signs them on the spot. Eventually they go on to become one of the funkiest bands the world has ever seen or heard... but all good things, unfortunately, must come to an end.
