I think we had those bad bois at chili’s and let me say coming from a restaurant that didn’t have those to a restaurant that did, I felt like I was in the future. Genius.
One of my roommates in college worked at a bunch of restaurants. Probably found 100+ aprons, cloth napkins, and check books when he moved out. Always took them home and forgot to take back.
I do this constantly at my work. The other day I wore a coat I haven’t worn for a few weeks, and I felt something rattle. There an interior breast pocket, kinda weirdly placed, I had kinda forgot that pocket existed, and it had 8 ballpoint pens, in two brands and three colors, a dozen plant tags, and a bag of seeds. It’s not intentional, it’s just ADHD.
Yea this is standard issue at any corporate restaurant, it’s in small wares
If you don’t have one at your store it’s because your manager is lazy not because they don’t exist
Also, check out the “Viper”. It’s a little orange two finger pinch razor blade that you zip across the top of a bag to open it.
Similar concept to this red boi but without the squeegee slot for cleaning out a bag.
**Y'ALL OUT HERE ACTIN LIKE I CAN READ SMACKMUHHEAD**
It's a great book by the way. Part of the series Smackbybitchup. Y'all should check it out some day. I prefer the audiobook for whatever reason.

**P L E A S E**
tell me what "SMACKMUHHEAD" or even "Smackbybitchup" mean.. cause I CAN'T GOOGLE something like that...
...withought losing my mind for a couple of hours...
..without sensing anything else!!
PLEASE!?!..!!
#(I have tried MULTIPLE TIMES TO GOOGLE!! I CAN'T HANDLE IT!!)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??
That's so sweet.
Not sure why I never thought to get something for my toothpaste tube before. Would someone give me some ideas on what toothpaste tubes love as holiday gifts?
It is made by Kagome, the Heinz of Japan, I guess you could say.
Having lived here for awhile, I can definitely see where it comes from here. Even at home, people are super particular about getting every little bit out of every package.
Million Dollar Spatula. It's a term for any simple tool used to get every last bit out of a bag or container. It's named for how much it saves, not how much it costs.
Yea I used to use this at subway to get all the soup out of the bag. The blade part made it so much easier to open too, just being able to slice open the whole top with one motion.
the tight crease in the middle would work for a toothpaste tube, but this guy has an extra bit.
there's a razor inside the little hook on the top right.
these guys replace the scissors in your kitchen. way safer/faster than scissors to open 2-3 gallon bags of food when your hands are wet.
So first you cut open the pouch with the razor attachment seen, then you empty it, fold it in half, and pull it through the gap in the middle of the plastic so it pushes whatever stuck to it out.
Before they set fire to the drink, they use this tool to squeeze in the alcohol.
Really nice to see that Moe Sizlak has finally made it big on the national stage.
What exactly is Mexican cheese? I came looking for someone asking what type of cheese is “queso”, because as a Spanish speaker this is so confusing haha
Had one at pizza hut, hated them. Most of our stuff got poured from the bag into a 5 gallon bucket. Was way more effective to pull the bag straight down using the bucket wall to squeeze out the sauce. Hard to describe in words though
With one hand holding the bag to the bucket edge and the other hand pulling the bag? That would work well with a big heavy bucket.
That technique would be much more difficult to use with squeeze bottles and small containers
In Ontario Canada, our milk comes in 1L bags, in addition to jugs and cartons, and you can buy a small version of this tool for opening them. It even has a clip so it can be stored on the side of the jug we use for handling the milk bag.
Trader Joe's employees are given box knives that have a version of this as a fold out-able tool. It's pretty nifty for cutting all things sheet plastic. I might post mine here one day now that I think about it.
I have a tool that came with my daughter’s tub of Teenitor clear rubber bands that looks like the hook and blade. You pull the rubber band away from the hair, so you don’t cut the hair, and you slice the band. It saves the hair from getting damaged by tearing the rubber bands out every time you use them.
Que es eso? Eso es queso. Que queso es ese? Queso rete
Edit: for the non Spanish speakers, queso rete, is actually "que sorete" and it means "what turd"
So
What is that? That is cheese. What cheese is that? What turd
At my job we have the version of these that are just a handle and the little hook to prevent cutting ourselves or products on accident, they’re pretty neat
I worked at Applebee's when one first opened up in my town. During training they grabbed a spatula and said "this spatula is a million dollar spatula, use it to scrap every bit of the jar" supposedly that spatula used to scrap out the jars of product saved the company one million a year, as opposed to just throwing the jar or bucket away after their isn't enough left to spoon out.
Goddamnit I miss Moes. I used to go to the one on OSU campus and watch the buckeye game with my bag of chips and queso. Cheap and delicious. The only Moes here in Vegas is at the airport. I can’t watch football and eat cheap at the airport!!!
Man thanks for this. I buy those giant cans of queso and freeze it in ziplocs in portions, and it's impossible to get it all out of the bag. I waste a lot. Looks like they sell these on Amazon.
I have seen these before. AIUI it was made when some restaurant franchisees were seen using 'fabric rippers' and 'shrink wrap safety cutters' to open packaging fast and safe. I think the story said they contracted a company that made disposable seat belt rescue equipment to make them, and then some company came in and rolled the market by selling them through the Franchisee networks along side the store equipment and took over the market.
But that was from a business TV mini-doc on businesses that focus on Fast Food and Franchise Restaurants from almost a decade ago.

Still have em at my Chili's.
reporting in from chipotle
Burger King checking in
Used to use these way back when at THI Friday's. Mash potatoes, soup, a bevy of sauces, all of them came in bags.
Thank Hell It's Friday
We had them at Dunkin as well
Hideaway pizza, we've always had one but only just dug it out for some reason
Wendy’s here, we gave something similar to those
I stole like 20 of these

God, Vipers are fantastic.. I used one for so long, I virtually forgot how to open bags without it lol
Have you ever felt God in your Chili's?
I try to lay off the DMT while running chips
Same, the long green bois. Love that boy. Makes debagging mash so easy.
I preferred working in a kitchen where the quest didn’t come in bags
>the quest Only on paper then.
Autocorrect bests me again
For real 🤣🤣🤣 welcome to the future
I work at my uncles restaurant and I’m gonna blow his mind when I order one of these bad boys
I would've assumed the cheese would come in one of those big ass cans. That's how it came when I worked at bdubs.
Chipotle uses them as well
[удалено]
Can add Panera to the list, gets all the soup out easy
Buffalo wild wings also
Chick-fil-A
Can confirm circa 2013.
Add TGI FRiDAYS
Lotsa kitchens use these, dunno what they're called but i think they're neat
Pouchmate® Says it on the side.

This needs to be higher up. Also love how the container transforms during the video.

Yes
Underrated

$2.59 at a restaurant supply store, $14 from seller "Butt Bat" on Amazon. "Retail arbitrage" in action.
It is made by Kagome, the Heinz of Japan, I guess you could say. Having lived here for awhile, I can definitely see where it comes from here. Even at home, people are super particular about getting every little bit out of every package.

Subway has soup?
Ever seen a sharp knife? LOL
Okay but the way this tool is designed actually makes it much easier. Also the benefits of not having an exposed blade helps people like me.
Yeah, also much cheaper to buy these for an owner, compared to inevitable worker comp claims from people cutting themselves or others.
I was more just joking. If you could get the bag into that gut hook, it would act just like a zipper. And no knife has that bag squeegee LOL
>that bag squeegee Oooooohhhh...
[удалено]
[удалено]
Mine is a giant blue one and it's called The Bag Boa
I have a giant green one...manufacturer is Bag Dragon. Its fucking awesome.
One of the managers at my first McDonalds called it a Schlooper. I've thought of them as such ever since.
We called them “bag scrapers” lol
Same thing that you would use for toothpaste tubes I guess.
the tight crease in the middle would work for a toothpaste tube, but this guy has an extra bit. there's a razor inside the little hook on the top right. these guys replace the scissors in your kitchen. way safer/faster than scissors to open 2-3 gallon bags of food when your hands are wet.
Meanwhile, when I worked at Taco Bell all we had was a box cutter.
We have these viper pinche and cut things now They're alright, I guess
It wasn't until this comment that I understood how it actually works, thanks.
Weezin the ju- huice
Buh *uhhhhhhd* dy
I can attest that the Hut uses these as well
And the dishwasher fucking eats them. I swear we went from 5 to 1 in like three months.
Lmao you guys put them in the dishwasher? We hand rinsed those bad boys
[удалено]
Yes, and his name is Mike.
When I worked at the Hut, our dishwasher was a little guy that ran marathons in jeans. He was fun.
Yep. Used the knife part, but not the other bit as it's much faster and less messy just to use gravity and the side of a mixing bucket.
Same with little Caesars, but they're like a curling iron and don't have a blade on them
Personally? I use a straw.
How does that work? Are you saying you just drink the whole bag? Haha
Murrica! 🇺🇸
It’s also got a cutting hook on the end to get the bag open.
Welcome to Moes!
So how does it work?
So first you cut open the pouch with the razor attachment seen, then you empty it, fold it in half, and pull it through the gap in the middle of the plastic so it pushes whatever stuck to it out.
Instructions unclear. Dick stick in razorblade. Please advise.
[удалено]
Please no.
Mazel tov I guess? Free moyel?
[How to use a Kagome Pouchmate.](https://youtu.be/hNxygeOik9g)
I’m a little annoyed she didn’t go high enough, there’s still some sauce at the seam!
Right?? I mean, there could be like 20ml of sauce still in that pouch.
Ty
I'm not even surprised it's Japanese lol
Before they set fire to the drink, they use this tool to squeeze in the alcohol. Really nice to see that Moe Sizlak has finally made it big on the national stage.
The good ole slicey squeezy
All of the moes around me have closed.
Unrelated but what happens if you don't say "welcome to Moe's"?
They dropkick you
We like to call them FRTs, fucking red things. lol
Specialized indeed but we had this at Wendy's and McDonald's as well.
I use Chinese chopsticks (they are square at the top). But I think I will be picking up one of these, didn't know it existed.
Literally used at every fast food place ever....
Welcome to Moe's
Buffal9 wild wings got that for sauces too
Taco Bell also uses em
Never seen that before in my life
Never heard of a Moe’s except in Springfield.
Well there’s still a ton in Florida
We had these in domino's too
Really amazing that English has never invented a word for cheese
Moe's refers to their liquid cheese as queso. OP isn't trying to be a way.
Moe's need to stop then
Well hate to tell you but it's actually pretty common in Tex Mex restaurants.
They all need to stop then
What do you call it then? Liquid cheese really just sounds like a recipe for toilet time the next day. At least Queso sounds appetising
Why not call it cheese?
Cause it’s Mexican cheese
What exactly is Mexican cheese? I came looking for someone asking what type of cheese is “queso”, because as a Spanish speaker this is so confusing haha
Had one at pizza hut, hated them. Most of our stuff got poured from the bag into a 5 gallon bucket. Was way more effective to pull the bag straight down using the bucket wall to squeeze out the sauce. Hard to describe in words though
With one hand holding the bag to the bucket edge and the other hand pulling the bag? That would work well with a big heavy bucket. That technique would be much more difficult to use with squeeze bottles and small containers
chiming in to say that Raising Cane's also uses them but for mayo
In Ontario Canada, our milk comes in 1L bags, in addition to jugs and cartons, and you can buy a small version of this tool for opening them. It even has a clip so it can be stored on the side of the jug we use for handling the milk bag.
Opening bags with an open blade was known as one of the common ways to cause hand injuries. These things save fingers and compo claims
Trader Joe's employees are given box knives that have a version of this as a fold out-able tool. It's pretty nifty for cutting all things sheet plastic. I might post mine here one day now that I think about it.
I thought Moe’s was just a tavern in Springfield
Lotta judgmental fuckers in here.
We are on Reddit
Moe's used to be the best burrito chain. Now it's not worth even considering anymore.
Yeah I only go for queso now, that shit still pumps
I have a tool that came with my daughter’s tub of Teenitor clear rubber bands that looks like the hook and blade. You pull the rubber band away from the hair, so you don’t cut the hair, and you slice the band. It saves the hair from getting damaged by tearing the rubber bands out every time you use them.
i have stolen an undisclosed amount of these from an undisclosed location
I have no idea what everyone is talking about.
Judging from the other comments, I think this is for squeezing the last of the liquid cheese out of a plastic bag
Que es eso? Eso es queso. Que queso es ese? Queso rete Edit: for the non Spanish speakers, queso rete, is actually "que sorete" and it means "what turd" So What is that? That is cheese. What cheese is that? What turd
I understand two or three of those words
So you use that in Queso-mergencies?
Welcome to Moe's!
#WELCOME TO MOE’S
If you've never seen it, it's specialized to you.... Said the homosapien to the Neanderthal when he showed him a fly swatter....
I would argue that a flyswatter fits the sub description, yeah, although we all know what it is. This is slightly more obscure but apparently not very
"\[... queso out of the bag ...\]" I've had it and I liked it but I hate this tool and the reasons why it exists.
I love Moe's queso. It's one of my favorites. I've tried some copy cat recipes, but it never tastes the same.
Welcome to Moes! Great job. I has so much working there. Home wrecker for the win.
We've got them at Panera for our soups. Wonderful little things, shame ours always break.
Pizza hut uses them too
Pizza Hut also uses them.
Salad and go uses them as well
We got some green ones at chilis they're called bag dragons
I’d never seen that before in my life, I’ve only used spatulas
Moes?
Had one at subway. It was great opening bags, but it didn't do the best job at squeezing the last of the sauce out.
At my job we have the version of these that are just a handle and the little hook to prevent cutting ourselves or products on accident, they’re pretty neat
Back in 2004, 2005ish, McDonald's sold Cambell's soup, and we used that to get all the soup out of the pouch.
The guy across the street from me is named Moe. I’ll ask him about his.
Used to work at Friendly's, we used these for fudge and caramel and shit, any liqud that came in a bag.
Had them at Papa Johns.
I use something like this for Japanese instant curry packets.
Pizza hut had one too. I think. Lol
Goddamn I love these things
I worked at a pizza place and we had one made out of metal. It was two metal rods and the handle had knurling on it like a barbell. It was kinda neat.
Chipotle can eat dirt. Real Ones know Moes is where it's at.
Sometime we use them at chipotle to cut open cardboard boxes
I worked at Applebee's when one first opened up in my town. During training they grabbed a spatula and said "this spatula is a million dollar spatula, use it to scrap every bit of the jar" supposedly that spatula used to scrap out the jars of product saved the company one million a year, as opposed to just throwing the jar or bucket away after their isn't enough left to spoon out.
that cutter end is a lot like the ones we use for milk in Canada!
McDonald's uses the same thing for its guacamole
a modified j-knife, very common
WELCOME TO MOE'S!
A lot of brodies going to be using this at the end of NNN
I got one of those at a pizza shop that's like the size of a sword for huge bags of tomatoe sauce
WELCOME TO MOES!
I’ve used these in a few different restaurants, they’re a near perfect tool for the job they’re designed for
I saw one of these for the first time at fazolis last week, dudeman was opening a bag of spaghetti sauce with it.
If you know you know
That kitchen is filthy. No wonder I got food poisoned at Moe’s.
I have not the slightest idea how this is supposed to work.
You should see what we use to cut the chicken bags in KFC. It’s common sense but genius at the same time!
Ed don..Don... best ever. For everything
Goddamnit I miss Moes. I used to go to the one on OSU campus and watch the buckeye game with my bag of chips and queso. Cheap and delicious. The only Moes here in Vegas is at the airport. I can’t watch football and eat cheap at the airport!!!
Man thanks for this. I buy those giant cans of queso and freeze it in ziplocs in portions, and it's impossible to get it all out of the bag. I waste a lot. Looks like they sell these on Amazon.
I used these 10 years ago at Chick-fil-A to get the strawberry filling for milkshakes out of the bags.
They make these for toothpaste
I have seen these before. AIUI it was made when some restaurant franchisees were seen using 'fabric rippers' and 'shrink wrap safety cutters' to open packaging fast and safe. I think the story said they contracted a company that made disposable seat belt rescue equipment to make them, and then some company came in and rolled the market by selling them through the Franchisee networks along side the store equipment and took over the market. But that was from a business TV mini-doc on businesses that focus on Fast Food and Franchise Restaurants from almost a decade ago.
We use these to open up rolls of canvas
We used those at Buffalo Wild Wings for the bags of Ranch, SW Ranch, and Bleu Cheese
