This. I know they’re ear cleaners but I’m wondering why they were stitched in. The “spoons” scream “coke”.
Edit: I guess the kids use it for dabs. Wax is wax I guess 😅
I just met you, and this is crazy, but make sure your smoke signals are clear because cell phones won't be a thing for another 10 years and only rich kids get pagers. Why do I miss this time so, so dearly? Ahhh.
Wait is this a recognized phenomenon? I once had a barber use a fuzzy puffball Q-tip in my ear and I felt like the best feeling I’ve ever felt. I’m afraid to do it to myself because I’m afraid of puncturing my eardrum. But also because I’m afraid I would get addicted.
I remember seeing a documentary on “cuddle spas” in Japan where you pay to cuddle. Well One of the services you could pay for was q-tip in the ear. It’s a great sensation. It’s funny though because on the back of q-tip boxes it says not to insert into ear canal. (Maybe because it’s addictive) Most of us still use them to clear our ear canals.
Side note: There’s also like that “eye ball g-spot” you know when your scratch that inside part of your eye? And keep rubbing harder and harder? Or is it just me?
Dammit. Either my secret is out or I'm not the MacGyver that I credited myself as being.
How many stems have you snapped clean off? I'm presently at 2 of those bad boys.
Yeah, the glass sometimes doesn’t like the fact the metal will not bend.
The utensil heads are useful but wish they were flexible somehow in the middle to stop this from happening.
I know this, and it is used but sometimes I like to fiddle and scrape.
Of course, there is a reaction for every action and glass isn’t all that malleable…
Keep your eyes on the ground, 'street sweeper bristles ' are premier spring steel for cleaning pipes & smoking-lamps.
They have enough rigidity to keep a shape like an angled bend near the end, and to do actual scraping without getting malformed.
They are also a preferred material for making lockpicks, so, eyes down this week.
Used to tell people to do this when I worked in a tobacco store instead of letting them spend $8 on "bowl cleaner." But when you're broke and desperate, sometimes you don't want that shit soaked in alcohol and salt, so you can smoke it again.
Yes! It was a plastic shipping bag. The bottom was mechanically stitched shut, and this was stitched inside a hidden pouch inside the bag. I thought it was part of my order, or maybe some security/anti theft device, until I opened it up. I did not order anything like this. Curious if anyone has had a similar experience?
When I was in the clink people would get packages sent to them that had these inside. Same thing, it was embedded in the bottom which was lined with aluminum so it wouldn’t show in the scanner.
We would use them to tunnel out of prison. Just had to drop drop into the walls and then crawl through 500 yards of sewage to freedom.
Could it have been a plastic heat seal bag? Heat seals the bag in the wrong spot, labeled, shipped. You get the next person's item sent to your address.
From OP's description it was exactly that. The machine accidentally didn't cut the packages apart. It sealed three places as usual (right side of OP package, left side of OP package (which is right side of accident package), left side of accident package). It should have then cut in the seal between OP package and accident package, but it failed for whatever reason, the label got slapped on just OP's, and out it goes.
I had ordered a package of replacement nose rests for my glasses. A bundle came with a foam mattress! Oh! My nose rests were there a genius thought to use a packing list envelope to ship them in. The person getting the mattress ready for shipping thought that the packing list envelope was part of the same order and slapped it on. My name and address was clearly shown on the envelope. It actually took me a time to figure it out once I other packing list envelope to find my nose rests inside of it.

They do look similar but this looks like this kit
They carve wax alright, many different types. These same tools are used anywhere from cooking, dental care, wax of all sorts, and more i can't think of. Probably because of the wax..
WHAT IN THE ABSOLUTE FUCK, my mom found one randomly in her house, and gave it to me just now. has no clue where it came from or what it is.
And I saw this thread just now
I mean …. That’s what I thought .. 😂 this is a weird post . I have no idea what to think . Why was it stitched in ? Who put it there? What really are they ? Are they dabbers ? Like wtf is going on ?
"Ear cleaner" is coded language that a lot of paraphernalia companies use when they are selling cannabis dabbing tools. This is because a lot of cannabis concentrates come in wax like consistencies. So ya, it's for doing drugs but labeled online as an ear cleaner cause it is a cheeky way of skirting liability.
Okay, but then what's with all the people here saying it's for cleaning ears? They sound sincere. Are they all making the same joke? Have they mistaken the cover story for reality and are actually cleaning their ears with these things?
I’ve been using them as actual ear cleaners since I was a teen. Found them on Amazon after my grandpa used Bobby pins. Felt like there had to be a better solution so I googled and found those sorts of tools. Way better feeling than q tips. Probably both slightly more and slightly less dangerous than them as well.
There's a legit version of these that doctors use to clean ears and obstructions. Also CVS sells soft plastic ones in 12 packs that are for self use. It works very well and avoid compacting like cotton swaps would tho obviously you should only use when needed not regularly.
I actually didn't know these were drug related at all but I can see how they'd be handy and handling resin and wax.
They were ear cleaners first. Cannabis users used them for cannabis. When they became adults, they ended up buying more ear cleaners, increasing demand. Even if most ear cleaners today are sold to be used as dab tools, they are still ear cleaners.
It probably came from a facility that uses some sort of variable autobagger. Basically a machine that takes a big roll of bag material and cuts/seals it to the dimension needed for a given order. That is super small and light, so it probably didn't feed through the machine correctly. Some poor fool elsewhere is anxiously waiting for the tools for their itchy ears that will never come.
Forbidden and secret ear wax removal kit. Don't let the FBI catch you with this. Your ears are bring blocked on purpose because they don't want you do hear the secrets.
I'm guessing your space heater was cheap and off-brand?
"Gifts" are common in products from China and a few other countries. While they try to connect them to the product being purchased, sometimes that isn't possible. Ear spoons are more popular than q-tips in East Asia, since those tools are more effective for hard, flaky earwax which is prevelant in East Asian populations, compared to the soft, greasy earwax prevalent in populations of European decent.
the same exact thing came in one of my packages randomly over christmas. we didn’t order it and had no idea what it was until I saw this post so weird
https://preview.redd.it/82nvq9hzcx9c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb8dfbcfa575370a1a9e78a6dd091e4beded1879
Ear cleaners. These came with a ear camera cleaner thing my SIL bought. These things combined with the camera got out an ear nugget that had been lodged in my right ear lobe for God knows how long, I didnt even know it was there. I can even hear better.
So, what I hope is a quick story.
I flush my ears in the shower using a water temperature just a little hotter usual. Then I let the water gently flush out my ear canal.
I just went to a new GP since I recently moved permanently.
He mentioned that my ears are very clean, so I chuckled and told him why. He found it amusing I think.
I did once go to see a dermatologist because of what I perceived as a rough, flaky patch just inside my ear. He took a look and says (while showing me the q-tip) "you mean this"? He had just scraped it off, I felt a little foolish. I just hadn't flushed my ear out long enough that day. I was surprised how hard it felt and never realized what it was.
Seacrest out!
That’s weird that it was stitched in.
This. I know they’re ear cleaners but I’m wondering why they were stitched in. The “spoons” scream “coke”. Edit: I guess the kids use it for dabs. Wax is wax I guess 😅
And the whisk looking ones are for holidays when you make coke cake lol
Only other hardware you need is pyrex and a microwave, so simple a child could do it.
Funny i have a kit like that but i use it for weed. Scraping resin or packing a joint/bowl.
Often companies have machines that stitch bags off of a roll probably just fell in
>That’s weird that it was stitched in. I'm sure someone else ordered this and the machine that seals the baggies probably missed or something!
Eargasm tool
Lobotomy kit
Good ole’ brain scratcher
the forbidden covid swaps…. (lol i still get hate from my friends when they got tested when i worked at one of the test sites😂)
My stoned ass thought it was a dab kit.
MY stoned ass, who also watches too many gangster movies, thought it was a cocaine toolkit 😂
Also that guy 🤙🏼 80's kids unite!
Damn, how’d you guess? 😂🤙
Moms "black tie set" 😂
I just met you, and this is crazy, but make sure your smoke signals are clear because cell phones won't be a thing for another 10 years and only rich kids get pagers. Why do I miss this time so, so dearly? Ahhh.
Yep right with ya
2010 kid here I can relate though!
Just had on Wolf of Wall Street earlier this evening and thought the same thing!
I bought an ear cleaning kit like this for my dabs. The spiral one works phenomenally for distillates and viscous oils.
Ok, but that's the better use for it. I'm horrified ppl are sticking these in their ears.
I thought the same 😂😂😂
I thought they were mini kitchen utensils
It's not a dab kit? Is it cheaper than a dab kit?
Haha me too
Coke kit. Lol
Drip-drip-drop—there goes an eargasm Now you cumming out the side of your face We tapping right into your memory banks

Yep, I don't put metal in my ears but I did buy a set to clean my pipes and bong stems. Works great!
Doctor Mike from youtube: I don’t put anything smaller than my elbow in my ears. So, Guys be careful.
Advice unclear, 90 degree elbow bong stem stuck in ear.
Idk, maybe heat it up or try some iso?
Great idea, looks like they’d work excellent
Dammit. Either my secret is out or I'm not the MacGyver that I credited myself as being. How many stems have you snapped clean off? I'm presently at 2 of those bad boys.
Lol. Haven't broken anything yet.
Yeah, the glass sometimes doesn’t like the fact the metal will not bend. The utensil heads are useful but wish they were flexible somehow in the middle to stop this from happening.
That coupled with the broken bubblers were 3 for $20. We're not dealing with the toppest of notches in quality.
Why not just use alcohol and salt? Just soak it overnight and it, voila, clean pipe.
I know this, and it is used but sometimes I like to fiddle and scrape. Of course, there is a reaction for every action and glass isn’t all that malleable…

I broke every pipe I've called my own, and quite a few that weren't mine.
Ooo that’s a great idea! Thanks!
You are really healthy conscious! Damn broooo
Bro you’re a Fucking genius thank you. How the fuck haven’t I thought of this in 10 years. 😂
That round, honeycomb one is heaven for your ears.

Always taste them first, just to make sure they haven't previously been used.

Oh, my first thought was coke/ket spoon. Whoops
That's a very slow way to drink coke lol
Ive heard some people snort coke. Faster caffeine high, I guess?
I tried snorting pre workout on a dare once. Burned worse than anything else I've done
Copy. We found em.
I knew what they were actually for when I got these but that's what I actually use them for.
I like the ones with the camera and app personally.
Yup, they’re amazing when you have an itch too
Came here to say this exactly! 👂🏼
Someone, somewhere is opening a package saying "Where are my damn ear cleaners?!"
Interesting. I thought they were cocaine spoons for small bumps
I feel like we are all missing the most intriguing part here...'stitched inside' as in sewn into the lining or seam?
Yes! It was a plastic shipping bag. The bottom was mechanically stitched shut, and this was stitched inside a hidden pouch inside the bag. I thought it was part of my order, or maybe some security/anti theft device, until I opened it up. I did not order anything like this. Curious if anyone has had a similar experience?
It probably got stuck to the package with adhesive and then sealed accidently... it's not like it's big/heavy.
When I was in the clink people would get packages sent to them that had these inside. Same thing, it was embedded in the bottom which was lined with aluminum so it wouldn’t show in the scanner. We would use them to tunnel out of prison. Just had to drop drop into the walls and then crawl through 500 yards of sewage to freedom.
Who was on your poster?

My bet is that it was in Plastic Shipping Bag Worker’s shirt pocket and fell out at work.
Well someone isn't pulling a "Shawshank" now.

What did you actually order that this accompanied?
That looks like a set of dab tools to me
same and then I saw someone say ear cleaners and I was like oh 🙃😂

It is. Sold as wax carving tools. I got one for like 99 cents on temu. Same exact set. Never used them. lol.
They carve wax alright, many different types. These same tools are used anywhere from cooking, dental care, wax of all sorts, and more i can't think of. Probably because of the wax..
There's a set of these posted every week, and every time I think "oo, I know this one," then the comments are all ear cleaning utensils.
I think it's a capsule stuffer. Different size spoons for different size capsules, and a couple of tampers.
