Spoonula — First came the spork, then the knork and now this...
Tell you what: they would've done much better to call it a dork.
No matter.
From the website:
....................
Silicone Spoonula
With a head formed from the finest-quality silicone, our flexible spoon-shaped spatula won't chip, crack or lose its shape, and it withstands heat up to 500°F.
Its cupped shape is designed for stirring as well as for scraping bowls and cookware.
Freezer-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe.
Birch handle.
....................
In (from the top down) Persimmon, Red, Green or Clear.
$9.
FunFact: A synonym for spork is "foon" — you could look it up.
FunFact #2: A synonym for knork is "splayd" — ditto.

I've been seeing these for a few years, but as a baker, feel as though I must stick by my regular spatulas. This "improved" spatula just doesn't seem necessary to me.
By the way, there are versions with metal handles (for that dishwasher problem).

Spatuloon?
Or, possibly, spatoon? (Pitui.)
Spootula?
I don't have a head made of finest-quality silicone, but I DO have a head of finest-quality lettuce. And a heart of gold. And feet of clay, most likely.

These things are great. I've gotten rid of most of my cheaper crap and replaced them with these W&S ones. They look great and take a beating. The red looks great next to my Empire Red Kitchenaide stuff.
One problem -- they say they are dishwasher safe, but I've learned this is only for the first dozen or two times. The wood is encased in some polymer, but it starts to wear off in the wash. I've had to throw one away because of this...got all grody (err...does anyone use this word any more, or am I in the fictional realm of Moon-Unit and her valley girls???).
Every now or then its alright, but I hand wash most of them.
