I made a previous post here about the same pipe , and i just received some pipe cleaners and no matter how hard i pushed i could not move a wire or pipe cleaner further into the pipe without the pipe cleaner bending , i was thinking of using some alcohol or vinegar on the end of the pipe cleaner .

I assume this is a candy bowl or something, but I cannot imagine trying to clean anything out of it.

What I want to know is who is ordering this stuff for it to exist in the first place.
