Ah, I love it when I see majestically simple but profound Surprises of inspiration like this...
I don't know if Abbey Island Foods' John Rowe ever read Rich Cohen's brilliant and entertaining "Sweet and Low,"(Cohen's family history about the invention of individually-bagged sugar and artificial sweeteners), but with his Honibe Honey Drop, John may be charting a similar course to the Inventor's Hall of Fame, Sweetener Wing.
A true "why didn't I think of that?" brainchild, the Honey Drop is described as the world's first "100% pure, non-sticky, dried, individual serving of honey," or better yet, "A Honey You Can Hold."
The candy-sized lozenge (also used as both, by the way) eliminates the gooey mess on your fingers, silverware or clothes that's almost inevitable whether you squeeze a plastic bottle, tear open one of these packets, or worst of all, try to spoon a heap into your tea or other hot beverage.
Another great export from Canada's picturesque Prince Edward Island, alongside the potato and Amber MacArthur! And in fine P.E.I. fashion, check out the down home nature of the company's website, where the Rowes invite you to stop on over.
