eyedropper

Squeeze-bulb liquid tool

An eyedropper is a small glass or plastic tube with a rubber bulb at one end, used to dispense liquid in drops.

Squeeze the bulb, dip the tip into liquid, release to draw it up, then squeeze again to release drops.

Originally for applying medicine to eyes, eyedroppers now measure small quantities of any liquid: Add three eyedroppers of food coloring.
