Yep, this is a junk drawer at its nascent stage.
My mother got into the pampered chef selling bulldonkey when I was young, and despite the dozens of items we got from them, only four really stood out, and she still has three of them. The ice cream scoop (how hard is it to make a shaped chunk of metal, after all), the kitchen shears (which were actually good quality), the slap-chop before there was a slap-chop brand (the one that is now missing/broken), and the kitchen organizer thing for the countertop: pic related. It was great for the longer shaped things, like some of what you have in the drawer. If the drawer bothers you that much, consider something that goes on the countertop or on the wall (or even a hanging pot organizer, which I love above a kitchen island.
Was it the ice cream scoop with anti freeze in the handle to make scooping easier? My mom did all of those. Tupperware, pampered chef, and the basket one.
That's the one! Was it antifreeze? I always thought it was water based to take advantage of the phase-change temperature difference.
12 year old me thought it was anti freeze, but I could be wrong I never opened one.
