I'm not sure why they chose a spoon, but the article is saying that it's a plastic spoon worth of microplastics - not a spoonful, but the amount of plastic needed to make a plastic spoon. It's an extremely confusing measure, and a bit much for my plastic addled brain

Anything but metric lol. Also that's definitely worse than just a spoonful.

I think you'd be able to fit the plastic from a spoon in the bowl of a plastic spoon
