    I remember helping a friend apply eardrops to his ears due to earwax buildup and thinking “man if these vials had long bendy straw-like tubes then he wouldn’t need someone to lean over his ear applying drops like someone applying cookie flavoring to a cookie.”

      You literally turn your head to the side and drop the drops in your ear. You don’t need a second person.

      A long bendy straw would require you to squeeze the liquid from the bottle all the way along the straw until the end point. That would mean a larger bottle with a larger amount of liquid for you to be able to squeeze it along the whole length.

      Do you actually need someone to help with that?

      I just apply ear drops myself, are you sure they didn’t involve you in some kind of ear drop kink 🤔
