  1. Jar Scraper by OTOTO

But this jar scraper is thin and flexible to scrape all the jam to its every last bits! Now who needs spoon when you can lick it from this cutie platypus? Don’t worry he won’t eat it (at least not all)!

But the hassle of squeezing it, and pouring it onto a cup and using a tea spoon to scoop and spread the juice is not worth it…..or is it? Well with this watering can style lemon juicer it definitely worth the time. You just gotta squeeze and pour it straight from the source. Easy as pie! ...easy as lemon in this case.
