Those honey stick ball spoon things are so fucking dumb. Just use a regular spoon, fork, or butter knife.

Why are they dumb?

They have exactly one use, and that use is already well performed with spoons

Yeah, but how will I show people how cool I am!

Never used one myself, but apparently lightly spinning them helps the honey not drip because it's so viscous. Stop spinning it and it can be drizzled.

Had to search online because I never understood why one would not just use a spoon either, but if it means there's not as many little honey trails on the edge of the container, I can see the point. Learned something new today!

You can do that rolling trick for the dribble with standard flatware, you do have to spin faster though to get it to work well.

The same idea applies to things you’re pouring out of; twist axially while tipping the container upright and you’ll have dramatically less spillage, even with viscous fluids like honey.

You're a wizard, Fedizen!

I think if you've got a pot of clear honey, something about the metal changes the honey. We got a pot from a local one time and it was awesome to start with but kept getting cloudier over time (could also be something far simpler, like oxygen!)

The honey starts to crystalize. If you put it in some warm water it will return to normal:

Convince kids to eat your family's vomit that is coating processed grains you shill so some guy makes in one year more money than a family could make in 10 generations?
