The Whisk Wiper is here to finally clean your messy whisks
If you're somebody who gets a thrill when all the glasses in your cabinet stack just so or enjoy lining up your pens in Roy G Biv order, feast your eyes on the low-tech glory of the Whisk Wiper.
The simple piece of plastic fits over its matching whisk and the slots in the modified teardrop shape slide over your whisk to collect the extra batter and clean those pesky spokes.
The shape of the Wiper also acts as a bowl scraper, drip collector and sink holder but really...it's all about those clean spokes in just one swift wipe.

Founder Matthew Michel tells Mashable the public response has been enthusiastic.
"Our video went viral on Facebook and we got 3 million views in about 10 days," he said. "The most common responses have been 'I need this' and 'Shut up and take my money.'"
Michel also hopes to eventually increase the Whisk Wiper line to accommodate all whisks.
The Wiper has already earned over $18,000 of its $10,000 goal at the time of publication. The tiers of Kickstarter contributions range from an early bird $19 pledge (which gets you a Wiper, whisk and guaranteed US delivery by Christmas) to $92, which gets you that package but with four times the whisks and wipers, minus the guaranteed delivery time.
Though there have been legitimate concerns of, "But licking the beater is the best part," and, "Who will really use this anyway," the amount of money generated on the Kickstarter (which is live through December 1) leads us to think we aren't alone in being hypnotized by the precise, even cleaning power of the Whisk Wiper.
