What Is This Strange Object Next to the Banana?

Therefore, if you discover a similar object in your home, especially if you or someone in your household owns colorful silicone collapsible measuring cups, check the handle ends of the cups. It is highly likely that the cups are intact and that the clip has become dislodged.

So, it is not a toy component, a plumbing seal, or a leftover piece from an unknown product. It is merely the humble yet important connector for collapsible measuring cups. It keeps the cups stacked until it becomes detached and causes a mini-domestic mystery, one banana photo at a time.
