A-mazing tee bag strainers. NASA standard tech.
I purchased this item as I was fed up burning my fingers trying to squeeze every bit of flavour out of the cheap awful tea bags that I buy. In saying that they are better than the hideous tea bags I used to steal from my work, when I was a cook at 'Spoons. They were truly awful. They didn't even have a real name; it was 'eclipse' or something like that. People at work used to say they tasted like sweepings off the floor. I actually thought that was a compliment. They would only be sweepings off the floor if perhaps the factory cats had used the floor as a litter tray, it had dried in and then maybe got swept up amongst a few tea leaves.
Anyway these bad boy tongs do it. They are so light and flexible they must be made of some space metal. If its not nano tech it must be alien technology. When you use them you can feel there is something more to them. Other worldly. Frequently, when using them to squeeze a tee bag I get the feeling someone is watching. Not in a good way, but in a scary abduction kind of way. To beat this I usually lock all the doors and close the curtains before I use them. If its after dark I hide under the kitchen table when I make a brew. You can't be too complacent. Well of course you can be complacent. However, if you use these tongs and then wake up on Venus or Jupiter, strapped to a table. And I mean strapped face down to a table. Well, all I'm saying is don't say you weren't warned.
I have not tried to use the tongs as ice cube lifters yet. Im not sure how that would go. I think they would have to be square ice cubes. Any spherical ice cubes (if you can call round ice a 'cube') would be pretty tricky to handle I would think.
Although not advertised as a feature I have also found them pretty good at lifting my change out of the plastic change thing on the bus. You know the little shoot the driver used to give you your money. A few people behind me have moaned at the alleged 'time' it takes me to recover say 57p, but in terms of hygiene defence its a small price to pay. Especially useful if you are on the X25 to Cumbernauld any time after midnight.
Oh aye, also great for toakkin blaw. No more burnt fingers when you hit a bit of incendiary red leb. Again though, if using, be aware of abduction potential. Especially if toakkin on the X25. And more especially if anywhere near Abronhill.
