First, the survey is a year old (unless the same company repeated the same survey again this year and I'm just bad at Googling?)

Wapo did a pretty nice writeup of the whole thing here, back in 2018 when the survey was released:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/voraciously/wp/2018/04/12/do-millennials-really-not-know-how-cook-with-technology-they-dont-really-have-to/?utm_term=.a2eed88476c0 …

Something called the Daily Meal also wrote about it, which i like because it includes the sentence 'Thankfully, an informal survey of The Daily Meal staff found that 100 percent of our millennial editors know exactly what a butter knife is'https://www.thedailymeal.com/eat/millennials-butter-knife-study/040518 …

First, it does not define what ages it is using for 'millennial,' 'gen x' and 'boomer,' which <eyeroll> whatever. But then, there's this: this is a survey of 375 people they think are millennialspic.twitter.com/bZIsefYUTR

Oh no! If it doesn't curve upward with two prongs at the end (so you can stab and lift) not a cheese knife (unless it's mad of wood).

* I do not understand why the solid wood ones don't have to have the little prongs. (I do not make the rules, I think it is from genetic memory)
