The bottle licker or bottle scraper was widely used in the 60s and 70s. He served for scraping bottles of custard and yogurt. You did this with the semicircular side. When cardboard suits came up later, one could use the straight side for that. The bottle licker is originally from Norway, but was most commonly used in the Netherlands. People often wonder if it has to do with our frugality. The bottle licker is still available at the 'best-known' supermarket. Sales have even risen by seventy percent since 2011. Presumably due to the economic crisis. According to HP De Tijd, the bottle licker index could serve as a benchmark for the financial situation in the Netherlands.
