Leave it to scientists to find new uses for old products.
Per the Washington Post,My Sisters Friend (2019) Twitter user Robyn Womack discovered a delightful Amazon review for a tea infuser in which a buyer explains its alternative, scientific use.
"To be honest these were not being used to strain tea but in a zoology experiment involving ants," he wrote.

Though a zoology PhD student herself, Womack was just looking for a tea infuser.
Her wildly popular tweet inspired other scientists to share reviews of other Amazon products with unlikely uses. Some even shared shots of these products in action.
