This is a scoop or shovel, convenient for scooping ice from the freezer or flour. It's unsanitary to take things by hand, and picking up one piece at a time with tongs is time-consuming. This is convenient because you can scoop up multiple pieces at once. I bought a lot of these, so I'm selling the extras. By the way, here's how I use it: A little bit of food waste accumulates in the kitchen sink drain, right? I collect shredded paper in a paper bag or a small cardboard box, and then scoop it out with the shovel and put it in the drain. The paper absorbs odors, so it eliminates the smell of food waste, and best of all, the food waste becomes invisible! (By the way, we don't use a triangular corner, and we throw food waste directly into the drain covered with a net, so it's perfect for hiding the trash and eliminating odors.) If you don't have a shredder, you can also use used copy paper or flyers, but it's more effective if you tear them up to a certain extent. Then, store them in a box, and put them into the drain whenever needed. That's what the shovel is for.
