I have at least 3 of these. They're hardly rare. I think it's just you.

So once upon a time, you actually got honey at the market replenishing your pot, rather than buying jars in the supermarket.

This thing was always in the pot, and you did not use a spoon to get your honey, it works better than a spoon and you just leave it in the pot.

Today americans probably bleach their jars, spoons and bees, but honey is surprisingly shelf stable, having a pot with a little hole with this little plunger sticking out is fine really.

Ummm...

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.

I have

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.

I own two of them. They are great for honey.

I'm guessing the people who don't use them aren't into honey. Like, maybe they have a little honey bear that's crusty in the back of their pantry.

Check out this fucking neanderthal, doesn't even have a Syrup Schlorper.

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.

I have one ! You actually need one for pure honey in jars as metal changes its properties

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?

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.

Ever used one for honey? You'll never go back to trying to use anything else.

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

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

I've got 3 of those at home (actually got one as a gift last week) but we don't use it because the open honey jar attracts ants. So we use spoons. I do like it though.

it's the easiest tool to use to get the honey out of the jar and into your mug for tea. i got mine at the farmer's market because local honey is thicker than store honey, but even stores that sell local honey don't sell these. highly recommend one if you've never seen one. it makes making tea so much easier

Anyone with a decent honey set up has these.

We have one. A small one that came with this little countertop ceramic honey pot we found at a pottery shop. We actually tried using it, but the ants got to the literal honey pot very quickly.

These are bear butt plugs. Its how they stop themselves from shitting themselves during hibernation

Somehow ended up with one of these in my house as a kid. Nobody had bought it, my parents were avowed agaisnt them because they find them hard to use... must have been a gift from the honey fairy. Anyway, I insisted on actually trying to use it one time.

It's not useful. It doesn't do anything that a spoon doesn't do.

You might argue that it spreads the honey in cute little criss cross patterns but honey is either so runny that it all pools together on the toast/cake it's applied to, or is so viscuous that it doesn't do any of that stuff and needs to be spread with a knife.

Honeydippers might be a medieval "emperor's new clothes" style hoax.

I have one

Yeah, but just look at those black levels.
