Hello! We are Bobby and Julie Haleluk, the creators of the dipr. Our story began one night, while Bobby was eating his usual snack of cookies and milk. After soaking the cookie a bit too long, it crumbled and dropped into the milk. Bobby turned to Julie and said “That’s it.. I’m fed up. I can’t take this anymore!” The next day, Bobby set out to build a special utensil that prevents the cookie from being dropped. After a few days of sculpting, sanding, molding and casting different variations – the dipr was born. Since the cookie dipper prototype worked so well, we decided to file for a patent and hired a lawyer to help with the whole process. The documents were drafted for the application and several weeks later the paperwork was filed, and we received the “patent pending” status. Soon after, we decided to place the project on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter.com to raise capital and gauge consumer demand. Within 30 days, the dipr raised over $10,000! Since then, the dipr has been featured on TV on CBS and PIX11, in The New York Times Magazine, Real Simple and Good Housekeeping, plus thousands of blogs, like Gizmodo.com! The dipr can be purchased here on our site, but keep checking back as we work to get the dipr placed in a cookie aisle near you!
