      Is it still skuomorphism if nobody knows what it’s for or what it represents?

      Personally, I wouldn’t buy that maple syrup – not because of the presence / absence of the handle, but because it’s a screw-on top. I get Maple Syrup with a flip-top closure, so that dried syrup doesn’t interfere with opening and closing the bottle.

      I always wondered if those are structurally sound enough to be slung from a small rope.

      I’m also not willing to risk my delicious maple syrup to find out.

      A handle is a handle. If it’s there, I’m going to use it. I’ll just complain about it after.
