What in the Heck? Episode 6

Just what in the heck is this thing? I have to admit that when my mother presented it to me for use on What in the Heck?, I was stumped. I had NO idea what in the heck this thing is. So for a free bottle of Big Daddy Jake's Texas Pit Smoked Hot Sauce, perhaps YOU can tell me what in the heck this is. I don't know the actual name of it, so I'll accept the use of this item as a correct answer.
It's about as long as a spoon. It's light aluminum. It bends slightly at the curved axis. Just what in the heck is it? (Click on the thumbnail to enlarge)
Please read this post for the rules of playing What in the Heck?
WE HAVE WINNER! GolfWidow actually gave the correct answer weeks ago, but I've been so busy with the podcast, I've been too lazy to update this bitch.
The object is a cookie dough dropper. When you are making drop cookies, you scoop up a bit if dough and dispense it easily with the tool ... no messy fingers or spoons!

I'm disqualifying myself again, but I totally know what it is and I have my mother's, 'cos I have more need of it than she does, these days.
I don't know why I keep disqualifying myself. By rights, I ought to qualify, since, although I've guessed one before, I never got a prize for it.
But it's okay.
G-dub. I think the statute of limitations is up on your disqualification. This post has been up since Thursday, and no one has got it yet. I officially absolve you of all previous disqualification, and hope that you will answer correctly so that I may send you a bottle of hot sauce. Amen.

Well, uh, he didn't give his mother a bottle . Do you think that's right? (just kidding, Adam)
I don't know ... I sent him the answer in an email and he never replied.
Either he doesn't check his email or the hot sauce is a ruse.

No, it's for real, I saw the bottle myself. Guess I'll half to slap him around a little bit, what do you think? Or maybe I could bribe him with one of those "cute" pictures I took when he had long hair.
Seriously - what the heck is this thing?

Got my hot sauce, and may I say, dayam.
That said, my dough-dropper is, indeed, a multitasker (though it wasn't designed as such) because it is great for such things as "dotting the top with butter" and applying peanut butter to bread without getting crumbs in the jar.
