I have
Liar. Prove it.
Yeah, prove it! Send us a picture with the honey dipper sticking out your fart hole, or we ain’t buying it!
Why would you buy a honey dipper that had been stuck in his fart hole?
For the flavor??
Bend over and I’ll show you
it’s sold in every souvenir shop of stuff made with olive tree wood in Greece. and it’s a stupid device, so much honey stays stuck in it after using it, absolutely not worth it
You’re supposed to leave it in the jar when not in use.
okay but my honey jars have a screw on lid, that’s not very practical ^^
Not the ones that use these. Most tools are unpractical when you don’t understand how to use them.
You take that back!
I have one ! You actually need one for pure honey in jars as metal changes its properties
Just squeeze the little plastic bear and the honey spurts out the top of its head
The bear is sticky with honey.
Rinse it in hot water
You do not speak for Gavin!
Once again with the plastic bears. I hate those little cunts so much.
Until reading the comments, I didn’t know people actually owned these. I thought it was supposed to look like the stripes of a bee on a stick as a gimmick to sell. But according to the comments, it’s designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.
I’ve never seen one of these in real life, whether at home or traveling. I’ve been to almost all 50 states and 10 other countries.
Bahaha. I guess I grew up with these in Utah and thought nothing of it it. Even made a couple in high school shop class.
The beehive state. It figures.
I’ve never heard that association before.
It’s literally on their highway signs and their capitol building
I was looking for the word “beehive” and found myself thorougly flummoxed. After re-reviewing I understand better. Thank you.
designed that way so you can twirl it if your honey container is far away from where you want to spread the honey to keep from dripping everywhere.
As opposed to moving the container or what you want the honey on to be closer together.
I have seen these before, but I’ve never seen them for anything other than honey. No one has a gravy twirler or a pancake syrup twirler.
To be fair, far away could mean arms reach on the table compared to the squirtable honey containers from the grocery store
Syrup and gravy are too liquidy for that to work. Honey can get VERY slow and thick, which seems to be why the premise works with this thing.
Gravy twirler you say…
They live only in Hotels.
Trivago (?)

I grew up in America and I saw them often enough. They must have grown up in Sucksville.
Anyone with a decent honey set up has these.
I just pour the entire jar. I use honey to make mead
That IS a decent set up.
Just tasted some of my latest gallon of mead and I really just want to drink it now. But its not really ready. Absolutely could drink it but its still opaque as its full of yeast suspended in the mead.
And yet you get people that say you need to age it for months or even years. Clearly I have lower standards, mine has just about finished fermenting.
Now I really want to drink it and I don’t even have it :) Do you make a plain one or do you add any spices?
Plain, not experimented with spices yet but probably should look into it sometime.
Swizzler.
You can buy them in every cutlery section in my country. But it’s kind of useless, I’m not sure why this is the design that is associated with honey. A spoon works better.
You can rotate this as it’s dripping to manage the flow due to the grooves which you can’t do with a spoon. It’s for when you only want a few drops at a time or a reasonably uniform drizzle.
And then many more drops are stuck between the ridges and get wasted.
Put it back in the honeypot…
So you need to put it in a special pot every time?Honey is sold in jars and they don’t have a cutout for it.
Unless you just leave it open for flies.
Flies actually prefer shit.
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.
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 them that call them
You put it back in the pot of honey, the thing is supposed ot perpetually sit in honey pot.
I don’t like it either, just explaining how it’s supposed to work.
No more than you wash off a spoon.
The dipper is meant to stay in the honey pot, so you’re not wasting any, except maybe the last time you use it, or if you’re pointlessly cleaning it each time.
I’m very confused, can’t you just leave a spoon in the honeypot as well? Like, I’ve literally done this before, dipped a spoon in to our honey jar, spun it around to keep it from dripping, put the amount I wanted in my cup of tea, and put the spoon back in the jar. But usually I just get whatever amount I want on my spoon and then I stir my tea with it. It gets 100% of the honey off, I get to stir my tea to mix the honey in, and I get the exact amount I want, no guessing needed.
I mean if you like the dipper then you go for it, but I don’t really see the advantage here, even with usability, maybe just a tad easier to spin.
only if you’re using a wooden spoon. a metal spoon will leach its flavor into the honey
Are you not using stainless? In what way is stainless going to leech?
most stainless steel is not true stainless steel and instead simply stains less. to deal with the low pH environment of honey (4 pH), you would need a high performance stainless steel or alloy to avoid leaching flavor from the alloy into the honey. most cutlery is 416 which will corrode under the conditions of being in honey. true silver, i think, would be fine in that environment, but i wouldn’t want to put a spoon in honey without being confident it was a higher performance compound than 416, and at that point i could just get a cheap dipper
Spoon is made out of metal. Changes the taste of honey.
Really? How does that work? I’ve never heard that before
Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
Same reason it’s not recommended to use metal pots or utensil for curries, the metallic taste can leech into the food.
Do people actually leave spoons or knifes in the honey? I just open the jar, scoop out what I need with my knife and spread it on my bread. And a lot of honey also comes in squeeze bottles, that way you can just squeeze it directly on the bread or waffle or whatever. But even with those I still use a knife to spread it around.
And most utensils are made from highly corrosion resistant materials right? As they get wet and exposed to all sorts of stuff all the time. And what about that Nilered video about the taste/smell of metal?
Honey is acidic with a pH of around 4, so it technically corrodes metal if left for prolonged contact.
I make knives and I really want to let one sit in honey for a week to see if it gives it an acid wash.
I have other acids that work much quicker, but I’m having a bit of a giggle at making a pattern-welded steel butter knife and calling it my “Honey Knife”
Do it like Guga! Call it your Honey dry aged butter knife and do three of them that spent different times in the honey dip. Keri the one you liked the best and use the others as free giveaways.
Also don’t forget to show us all the results
You keep slowly rotating it as you move it from the honey to whatever you’re going to put the honey in so the viscous liquid essentially “orbits” this thing instead of dripping onto your countertop. Then when over the target you stop rotating and let it pour off.
Or you could use a teaspoon.
Why, when this thing makes it easier? Unless you have a spoon with a round handle.
Because with a spoon you can lick it off afterwards.
Because I already have a teaspoon. I also could just drizzle it straight out of the bear shaped bottle.
Sure, and that general purpose tool works fine. This is just the tool specifically designed for honey. It’s not necessary, just useful.
I find it excruciating to wait before the right dose of honey gets on my bread or into my tea. You have to let it drip - right? Or was I using it wrong? Therefore I prefer either a spoon or a knife. I also don’t let the jar open so I can’t keep the honey dripper in it and it’s quite wasteful if you should clean it everytime. And there’s no way to use it on cristalized honey, which has otherwise a very good texture for putting on bread. That’s why I gave up on using it. Did I overlook some major adventage? I still have it somewhere and I’m willing to give it another try.
No, it sounds like the proper tool for your use case is a spoon or squeeze bottle.
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.

*Rechtschreibnazi
Jars of honey you bought at the supermarket used to come with them.
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.
