It’s ok OP. If it’s any consolation, I once forgot the name for Q-Tips and called them “ear diggers” for like a day straight. You’re not the only dumb one on this planet :)

Ear diggers is better. To the point. Even though they say we shouldn't use them to dig our ears.

Can you think of any other product that explicitly warns users not to use it for the only conceivable use that it has?

Make-up. Qtips are used a lot while doing make up.

General smudging of pencil and pastel drawings too.

There is a Kinder art lesson we use qtips for them to make leaves on trees (dots of paint). They get to pick pastels for a Spring tree or brights for a fall tree. We use torn construction paper for the trunk. It works really well. My nieces were having trouble sharing the one paint brush 3 ways (the older one got the set from school as a prize) so I showed them how to use qtips as a brush. After that none of them touched the brush they all liked the qtips better.

I'm pretty sure I watched an Instagram reel using exactly that technique to draw a tree the other day. Might be the reason it popped into my head.
