The teatool™ was invented by Dr Martin Almond who reached the conclusion that there had to be a better way of dealing with dripping teabags than with a teaspoon or tongs.
A Unique Solution to an age old problem... Extensive research indicated that no suitable device existed anywhere in the world. Martin set to work with a design company to come up with a practical solution. Several different designs were developed to prototype level and the best design was tested, amended and perfected and developed into the teatool™.

With the teatool™ the cage which holds the teabag is operated from the handle enabling easy insertion, squeezing and disposal, resulting in a better flavoured cup of tea, no burnt fingers and no more dripping teabags!

I generally scald rather than burn my finger when removing teabags

It looks like a device for the removal of impacted tampons.

was there some kind of global conspiracy against spoons that i missed out on yesterday?

Anything with a plunger automatically trumps the lowly spoon!

agh, i can't even think of anything funny right now b/c beth's words made my vagina ache.

(p.s. i know someone who forgot about a tampon once! with disgusting/scary/antibiotic-requiring results!)

― rrrobyn sharkattack battleforcenet (rrrobyn), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

Yes forgetting about a tampon is far worse than forgetting about a teabag.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 25 July 2006 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

unless the teabag is in

no.
