Hula Hoe Ice Cream Scoop

 Back-and-forth does the job

Digging deep into a big ice cream container hands get covered with goo: short handled scoops are needed for leverage. A miniature 'Hula Hoe' has a fore-and-aft digging motion. That and a long enough handle would do the job neatly and quickly. The hoe would only be used to scoop from container to bowl; it'd be a little awkward to stick in in one's pie hole.. ;-)

       I find that the scoops are much too large for my mouth. A sharp hoe would probably not be friendly to my tongue, either.   

       But just raking the ice cream out makes me sad in that it risks breaking up the large chunks of chocolate.   

       Alternative solution: cut off the container entirely from the ice cream.

       Not quite what I expected from the title.

       This is rather like that odd and, I think, dangerous cheese scraper thingy. I believe it would work, actually. It may require some testing and various modifications to make it work in hard ice cream. But, I really do like this idea. I'll build one and see how it works.

       I thought this was going to be a former prostitute wearing a grass skirt that lives in your kitchen, there only to scoop your ice cream?

       I thought this was going to be a breaking news story about a Hawaiian dancer digging into ice cream with a gardening tool

       I thought that this was an elaborate mechanism that you use to catch a cheating girlfriend by constricting her with a stack of hula hoops long enough to trigger and dump a bucket of ice cream(flavor that she hates)on her head while automatically releasing a press release about her transgression on an international newswire.
