    I own one, but mostly because I had a phase of getting into speciality honey and was eating honey every day during that time. It’s really the optimal tool for the job of getting honey out of a jar and onto your toast while also being easy to clean.

    Also, please for the love of God stop buying shitty honey that comes in a bear shaped jar. Go to your local farmers market and pay what you think is way too much money for locally produced honey. Honey where quality really matters and a little bit of really good honey is better than a lot of cheap honey.

    Eh… I have one and use it.

    What are you monsters using, a spoon?! /s

    FWIW I also have a butter knife, a saucer, 3 graters… I mean nobody needs any of that, you can survive with knives and forks but if you do cook frequently, good tools help IMHO.

    I’m a ~4yr amateur apiarist (US based, but not one of the dumb ones… depending). These are actually great for serving our raw honey. It pours off perfectly if you spin it.

      Honey Dipper.

      As long as you spin it (along the axis of the handle), the honey stays on the stick and doesn’t drip all over everything. When you stop spinning, it drips all over your food.

      It’s a niche tool but 11/10 at its one job.

    I have a honey pot with one of those that somebody gave me as a gift.

    I tried to use it one time to be fancy when I made biscuits, and put it in the middle of the table during dinner. At first people tried to use it, but it was such a fucking pain in the ass, eventually they just stopped trying to be nice about it used a spoon to get the honey bc wtf is the point?

      Well it does keep the honey not dripping if rotated, and works nicely if the honey is applied to hot water (as if you don’t, the honey will never leave those stripey grooves).

    I should save this comments section for when I need examples of why social media should be banned. A ton of people being dicks to each other over whether they use a honey dripper or a teaspoon.

      These are the same people that got their knickers in a twist about microwaving water for tea. Logic is not found in these types, only vibes.

        I know what you mean but also there is a viseral vibe around microwaving water in particular that feels very caveman coded in the weirdest way.

            You shouldn’t microwave water though, because there’s a chance that it could be superheated to the boiling point without looking like it and that can be dangerous.

              A really small chance that is only somewhat significant for distilled water and can be very easily mitigated by lightly tapping a teaspoon for a test.

              I do this everyday. The danger is not knowing but it’s not really riskier than being splashed by boiling water because you poured it too hard from a kettle.

            I’m aware but there’s this weird visceral unga bunga energy to it. It’d be like using a diesel generator to farm crypto it just feels fucking weird.

          I think you got that backwards - the caveman is the one scared of the microwave and its spooky woo-woo magic that damages the water’s aura
