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

  I got one last week when I got honey as a gift. Don’t know what it’s good for though 😂

  I used these all the time as a kid. I haven’t seen one in a few years though.

  I guess that works if you use more runny honey but my honey is so stiff that you need to use a hammer and a chisel. I friggin hate honey that is almost liquid, it needs to be more like a rock.

    Is your house really cold, or has the honey crystallized? You can heat up the honey to re-liquefy it, look up how.

    The only kind I like even more than rock hard honey is the really tangy kind with lots of crunchy little crystals in it.

      That’s the good stuff.

      Oh yeah, to me that’s my backup honey whenever the really hard stuff is out of stock. Happens every now and then since there’s like only one brand over here that sells it and I only buy domestic honey because it’s the only one I can trust to actually be real honey (honey counterfeiting is really in some cases).

    I’m all about creamed honey. It’s the consistency of peanut butter and has the happy crystals in it, if it’s not fresh.

    I don’t like honey much - the taste, that is. But I use it to sweeten tea or curd (with raspberries or banana, for breakfast)

      I mean that’s what I use it for. That’s why I prefer mostly solid honey because it’s easier to estimate how much to put in a cup of tea.

  Went to a wedding shower that was nature themed awhile back and the attendance prize was a small jar of local honey with one of these attached. I’ve never used one so I am curious to give it a try.

  I see this design on earwax cleaners. I think the idea is to be useful for retrieving a thick, viscous substance from a tight place. Rather than scooping it, it provides a space designed for the stuff to “get stuck in” the cracks.

  Given honey appears in various consistencies, I can see how that would be useful; maybe more for the beekeepers than the consumer.

  I’ve got a couple variations in a drawer. I don’t use a lot of honey so I don’t use them a lot.

  I’ve seen them. No advantage over using a spoon or even a knive as long as there’s no cross contamination.
