    I like the butterfly one, but I'm flummoxed. What is their function? I just put my bag in hot water and then squeeze it with a spoon before removing it from the cup. Obviously, I'm missing several important steps! Have a good week, Snap. (Mr Dragon is always right...)

    Mr. Dragon is right -- those teabag holders are HUGE -- easily triple the normal size! Maybe they are meant to be a "group" teabag holders, LOL!
