Abstract
A utensil comprises a main body having a handle and a receptacle. A resilient arm has a curved flexible portion and is operatively connected to the main body to be movable between a rest configuration and an extended configuration whereat the curved portion is less curved than in the extended configuration. A remover is operatively connected to the resilient arm in substance disengaging relation with respect to the receptacle. A trigger operatively mounted on the main body for movement between a rest position corresponding to the rest configuration of the resilient arm and an actuating position corresponding to the extended configuration of the resilient arm. In use, movement of the trigger from the rest position to the actuating position causes extension of the resilient arm from the rest configuration to the extended configuration to thereby moving the remover in substance disengaging relation with respect to the receptacle.
