Hold the spoon in front of your face.
Look at the curvature of the spoon.
The top part of the spoon is curved downwards, so it relects the lower part of your face. The lower part of the spoon is curved upwards, so it reflects the upper part of your face.

But, but, but … why does a mirror flip left to right but not up and down?!? 
(An interesting follow-up to get your head around).

The mirror didn’t flip it, you did!
Because it literally reflects what is in front of it.
If I stand in front of you, I see your right arm on my left hand side etc, as you also see mine. As that diagram above shows, the flat surface will bounce the light straight back, unlike the spoon.
It would be impossible for a mirror to show my right and left sides as I know them, because it would surely then have to show me my body from the back to do that.

So, is there no… dark side of the spoon?
No, only the back side… which doesn’t exist, … but it does… not, … kinda

Maybe Scrotum, his wrinkled retainer, is no longer up to the job of polishing his spoon?
