A honey dipper is a turned kitchen utensil that is used to collect viscous liquid (generally honey) from a jar or container, which it then exudes to another location.[1] Besides the handle, the tool consists of equally-spaced concentric (coaxial) grooves.[2] One method of using the tool is to dip the grooved spiral end into the liquid, then slowly twirl the handle between the thumb and fingers while in transport, to prevent dripping.[3] It is commonly used to drizzle honey on bread, biscuits, or other foods of that nature.[4] The tool is sometimes made of wood or plastic.[4]
The mascot of Honey Nut Cheerios, "BuzzBee", has carried various incarnations of honey dippers.[5] Winnie-the-Pooh toys by Mattel have featured a honey dipper alongside the bear.[6]
Since the 1920s in the United States "honey dipper" has been used as a term of disparagement for those that empty septic tanks, clean latrines, or do similar work.[7]
