Snackers, rejoice! This nifty pickle fork spares your hands from sticky brine — and it's just $9 at Amazon

Not only does this pickle fork tool make snacking more sanitary, it attaches to the jar so you can nosh straight from the fridge.

If you're anything like me, salty olives and sour pickles make the perfect snack. What's not so appetizing? Getting brine all over your fingers — not to mention that sticking your hands into the jar isn't so sanitary. Well, thousands of Amazon shoppers have found a better, cleaner means of enjoying those tangy treats, and it's called the Chef'n FridgeFork Condiment Fork. This is one of those "why didn't I think of that?" inventions that seems so simple, but really comes in handy when you're craving a cold snack from the fridge. And for just $9? I might have to get a pickle fork for everyone I know!

This nifty pickle spear keeps your hands outta the jar. More sanitary, less sticky!

Sure, it might sound niche, but if you (or your significant other) love to munch on jarred foods, you'll be reaching for this condiment fork more often than you might think. It comes in a holder that's attached to a stretchy band designed to fit around the rim of most jars so you'll always have a pickle-grabbing utensil at the ready. Plus, food is less likely to slip off of its long, pointy prongs; raise your hand if using a regular fork has ever turned into a game of bobbing for olives. (Raises hand.)

And beyond the fridge, it makes a great outdoor travel companion — reviewers use it during camping trips, picnics and barbecues to keep things hygienic. (On that note: Don't forget to clean it! Conveniently, it's dishwasher-safe.)

Some sourpusses might pass on this gadget, others say this is a dilly of a deal. Our take? It's chef'n great! (Amazon)

The Chef'n FridgeFork Condiment Fork has already won over 9,500 Amazon customers (and counting). Niche? We think not.

"It’s easy to clean and great for camping," wrote one outdoorsy user. "Plus, it fits most jar sizes, which is incredibly convenient. The fork caddy is perfect for storage."

"The multitude of benefits it offers is simply remarkable," agreed another impressed shopper. "Picture this: You're preparing a fancy charcuterie board for your guests, and this tool comes to the rescue, making the process a breeze. The ease of cleanup after is another huge plus."

"The mess-free pickle/olive removal feature was a game changer for me," wrote a final fan. "No more struggling to fish out pickles or olives from their jar and spilling pickle juice all over the counter. The stainless steel fork was also durable and easy to clean. My only suggestion would be to have more color options to match my kitchen decor."

So ... it's in your cart already, right?
