The 'Citrus Spritzer' by 'quirky' is a small kitchen appliance that allows one to spray fresh lemon juice straight from the source on their food. Having to deal with lemons and limes that squirt everywhere when squeezed with a human hand can be troublesome. This invention suggests an easy solution.
To get the citrus mist out of the fruit, one must insert the serrated teeth of the tool into the lemon or lime. From there, it's just as simple as spraying. Built out of food-safe plastic, this squeezer is safe and handy. The spritzer can also be disassembled to give it a quick wash.
This product is currently patent pending, but is still available for sale on quirky's website.
