A Woman Started an Instagram for Her ‘Pet’ Soup Ladle, and Now It’s a Viral Star

A company makes something called the Nessie Ladle. It is, as you might expect, a ladle that looks like the Loch Ness Monster. They gave its handle two simple dents meant to represent eyes. But for a woman named Margaret, they represented so much more.

Because she crafted a whole identity for her ladle: Samson. Then she started a soup ladle Instagram to document their adventures together. Now, you can enjoy Samson the soup ladle Instagram and see what that little bugger is getting up to next.

Meet Samson

That’s Samson. He’s Margaret’s ladle. But you gathered that from this pic. What you might not gather just yet is how deeply your love for Samson the ladle will grow as you ride along his adventures.

We don’t find this weird at all! If you can fit, a purse seems like a lovely place to live. You’d always have a cough drop by your side. And you’d get paid in “hastily shoved in spare change”. That’s it — we’re checking out purses on Zillow.

What an oddly charming gift! Beats a Target gift card, anyway. Good on you, cousin Jake. If you’re taking requests, we’d love a radish.

To all Hollywood execs reading this: Please immediately begin production on Henry And Samson, a multicam sitcom about a ladle and a houseplant getting into wacky shenanigans. Not animated. No voice actors. Just static shots of a ladle and a houseplant. It’ll be a big hint, we promise.
