Honey dipper

The utensil is sometimes made of plastic,[3] stainless steel, silver-plated brass, silicone, ceramic, or glass.

[4] Some users prefer wood or another soft material, which is less likely to chip a glass or porcelain cup.

[4] One method of using the tool is to dip the grooved end into the liquid, rotate the handle into a horizontal position,[4] then slowly twirl the handle between the thumb and fingers while in transport, as the concentric grooves help to minimize dripping.

[6] Winnie-the-Pooh toys by Mattel have featured a honey dipper alongside the bear.

[7] Since the 1920s, the term "honey dipper" has been used as a euphemism for the workers who empty septic tanks, clean latrines, and do similar work.
