‘I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something so bad.’

A product invented by an Idaho Falls man has gone viral and is high demand all over the world. Now, what it does might surprise you and even gross you out a bit.

“One of the comments we’ve gotten on Facebook is ‘Shut up and take my money,'” Jake Schuman, owner and inventor of the Utility Tip said. “Another comment was ‘I don’t think I’ve ever wanted something so bad.'”

The whole idea of the UTip is to get rid of ear wax. It has pockets and ridges designed for removing wax. It’s made from plastic and is reusable. Just rinse it off with warm water and you’re good for two to four weeks.

“We’re seeing orders from all over the world. It’s gone global,” Schuman said. “Orders from Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia.”

One of its videos on Facebook explaining how it works has 1.4 million views.
