Why doesn't a plastic spoon in a hot chocolate feel hot?

Most plastics, particularly the type used to make plastic spoons, have a very low thermal conductivity (that is: heat doesn't travel through them very well). The temperature of one end can be raised without having much effect on the other end.Plastic is a poor conductor of heat. But even a metal spoon in Hot Chocolate is only noticeably hot in the section that is submerged in the hot chocolate. Spoons have a relatively flat shape (and are officially a form of flatware) which dissipates heat easily.
