Why, in a packet of dates, does the little fork thing have nubbins along the stem?

No idea, but it took me a while to realize you were asking about the fruits and not the calendar!

Maybe it's a version of a traditional date fork.

It is a "dual tool" much used by the Arabs, much like a Swiss army knife.

so you can pick up dates without getting sticky fingers, but what's the other use then?

You can drill a hole on the plain end, tie it to a piece of string and use it as a fish hook by fixing the bait on the wee hook things, or, you can dig out stones in camels feet, use it as a skeleton key to open safes or prison cells.

My dad (when I was a kid I hasten to add) these date sticks were for picking your nose with.

Oh God, well, I suppose that every thing is better out in the open.

Is this a quiz question or a joke question?
It has nubbins along the stem because it thinks it's a stegosaurus!
