Does Anyone Use the Honey Thing?
They just look cuter than a spoon because they resemble a beehive.

I guess I'm the odd man out: I ALWAYS use the Honey Thing! I have no idea why, I guess it is pretty silly! i don't even have a decorative one, just a plain yellow plastic one, but still, it's my little honey friend!
Thanks for all of your replies! So...in conclusion, people don't really use the honey thing unless:
1. They want a tool to dispense honey that looks cute/presentable.
2. They want a tool that will only be used to dispense honey.
3. They are associated with bee keepers.
I suppose another reason would be if they had nothing else. And by nothing I mean no spoons, knives, or fingers.
I do like the one with the bee though. Aw.
The honey drizzlers come busting out at the Jewish holiday, Rosh Hashana. We use them to drip the golden yumminess on slices of apple, as is the tradition. For the whole months following Rosh hashana, until the end of Sukkot, the drizzlers and honey are a standard part of the holiday table. While it is possible to use knives and such to get the honey, the drizzlers touch ONLY the honey (unless someone dopily tries to spread it on to their bread causing a crumled mess) and stays nice and pareve for the duration of the month. It's kind of lame to put a squeezable container of honey on the holiday table, even if it is shaped like a cute bear. For me, drizzlers are the way to go.
I had one for a few years, then I ditched it when the kitsch to efficiency ratio became radically unbalanced.
If I'm using honey out of the jar, as when I'm preparing something, I use a spoon. But if I am putting honey on the table to serve it, I put the honey into a glass or crystal thingee and put the honey dipper into it.
I own one, and use it from time to time. It's nice for drizzling the honey. My boyfriends family comes from a line of bee keepers...so that might be why I have several cases of honey and a few of the honey things kickin around
Was given one with a jar of fresh honey. Got rid of it after the first try. I don't eat honey anymore either, but use agave nectar out of a squeeze bottle. I'd thought of using a pump bottle, but haven't tried it yet.
I have honey, one way or another, almost every day, and I never use anything but a spoon( unless the container has a spout).
Grew up with one that was always a mess. Bought one that was always a mess. Now use a squeeze bottle or sppon.
