A common frustration among users of powdered supplements, like protein powder, is the difficulty of retrieving the small scoop from inside the bag. The scoop often sinks to the bottom, forcing users to dig through the powder with their hands—an unhygienic and messy process. This issue is especially prevalent with flexible, resealable bags, which lack the rigid structure of tubs that might include built-in scoop holders.
One way to address this problem could be a specially designed scoop that adheres to the top interior of the bag, ensuring easy access. The scoop might feature:
This approach would eliminate the need to search for the scoop or contaminate the powder by hand-digging.
Primary beneficiaries could include:
Supplement brands might also benefit by differentiating their products, while manufacturers could produce this as a low-cost, high-margin accessory.
An initial prototype could involve a scoop with a reusable adhesive strip (similar to Post-it Note adhesive) or a silicone clip, tested with common bag types. User feedback could refine the attachment mechanism, ensuring it stays in place during normal use. Supplement brands might be approached to license the design or sell it as an add-on. If successful, the scoop could be mass-produced for integration into existing packaging lines.
Compared to existing solutions—like loose scoops or rigid tubs with built-in holders—this idea fills a clear gap for flexible bags, which are cheaper and more common for bulk products. The key would be ensuring the attachment method is reliable, cost-effective, and adaptable to different bag materials.
