Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life

  No, a proper honeypot has a lid with a little notch at the edge to accommodate the honey …thing…? I dunno, I’ve used them a lot but I don’t know what they’re called.

    Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. So every time you open a jar of honey you have to pour it into a special honeypot which has the correct lid.

    So even more wasted honey gets left behind in the jar you bought it in.

      My guy bout to start a legal non-profit to pursue and convict honey abusers.

      “No honey left behind. Every drop needs a home. We stole it from the bees, but I’ll be damned if I let the flies have it next!”

      No more than would be wasted when you finish that jar anyway. Nobody is getting all the honey out. Gravity will do all it can and the wastage is minimal.

    I’ve always called them honey dippers, or just a dipper.

    Not that I own one but have used one, the people who do own then know exactly what I meant.

    Funnily enough I have no idea what the people who had then that ib used call them

    But I’ve heard you can catch more with honey then vinegar.

      But you can catch way more with shit, which is a really useful household cleaning tip.
