No, chopsticks are not all the same size.
While there's no universally standardized length, chopsticks vary in length based on factors like gender and intended use.
Here's a breakdown:
- Gender: Historically, men's chopsticks have been slightly longer (around 8 inches) than women's (around 7 inches). This may relate to individual meal sets versus family-style dining.
- Usage: Chopsticks designed for cooking (like long cooking chopsticks) are much longer than those used for eating.
- Cultural variations: Length can also subtly vary across different Asian cultures.
Therefore, it's incorrect to assume that all chopsticks are identical in size.
