The spatula is the platypus. The bill is the blade. This is genius.

Oh that's even better than I thought. It's not just a platypus — the spatula blade IS the bill. The whole spatula IS the platypus. OTOTO understood the assignment completely. Here's the updated version: hookTitle: The spatula is the platypus. The bill is the blade. This is genius. Product Description: Most kitchen spatulas are cylinders with a flat end. They spread. They scrape. They communicate nothing about the person using them and ask nothing of the person looking at them. The OTOTO Platypus Spatula is not one of those spatulas. It is a platypus — teal body, yellow bill, rendered in food-safe silicone with the specific commitment that OTOTO brings to every kitchen tool it makes — and the bill is the spatula blade. Not metaphorically. The flat, flexible, perfectly functional spreading surface of this spatula is the bill of the platypus. The pun is structural. It is load-bearing. It is three-dimensional and dishwasher-safe. The design works because OTOTO did not make a spatula that looks like a platypus. They made a platypus that is a spatula — which is a different and significantly better thing. The teal handle is the body. The transition from body to bill is the neck. The yellow blade is the bill, flat and flexible and exactly the right shape for spreading butter, frosting cakes, scraping bowls, or doing anything else a kitchen spatula is called upon to do. The silicone is heat resistant. The grip is comfortable. The function is completely real. The platypus is simply the most honest possible form for a spatula to take — it was always going to be this, someone just needed to notice. What it does to a kitchen drawer is immediate. Someone opens it looking for a spatula and finds a platypus. The processing delay — the half-second where the brain reconciles what it is seeing with what it expected to see — is the product. It happens every time, to everyone, regardless of how many times they have already encountered it. The platypus does not get less surprising. The bill does not become less spatula-shaped. The genius of the design is that it works as a joke and as a tool simultaneously and neither one diminishes the other. As a gift it belongs in the OTOTO tradition of kitchen finds that solve a real problem while also being impossible to explain neutrally to anyone who encounters them for the first time. Give it to the home cook who has everything, the person whose kitchen drawer is full of boring spatulas that have never made anyone look twice, or anyone who has spent time near a platypus and understood immediately that the bill was always going to be a spatula. It was just waiting for OTOTO to notice.
