What da heck is dis ting?

[Guss-E 2021]

I've had the car nearly a year.
I've poured over ancient texts, traveled to far away lands and broken the hearts of exotic beauties.
Okay, that is not entirely true, I've never read any ancient texts.
Yet after all my trials and tribulations, I'm not closer to solving the mystery of just what da heck dis ting is?
Toothpick?
Weapon?
Missile key?

It's a key blank. Used on vehicles that take keys as a backup, which ours doesn't, so it's just the stock.

Well that is profoundly anticlimactic. Are you sure I can't launch missiles with it?

Well, being that you think it's anticlimactic, that would likely = blanks or no missiles.

Well, you "could" sharpen it up a bit and make an emergency screwdriver outta it.


or sharpen it even more as a defensive weapon... or pick your teeth?

Depending on your proclivities, I suppose you could use it as a ..... probe

It’s a tar remover tool for your bong!

EDIT: I should note that back when I was in college I worked a part time job with a guy from the Caribbean who was famous at work for: “I do not understand dis ting you say!”

It opens a secret compartment, which I could tell you where it is, but then, well, it wouldn't be a secret.

Very useful for prying the fob battery cover off.

As I recall on my 19 explorer fob, it is used to set the child locks on the rear doors.

While I normally find information from @DevSecOps accurate my informant assures me it in fact does launch missiles. Unfortunately you need the second key which is lost in some box in a Mar-a-Lago estate.

Well that escalated quickly lol.

It was the first packet weight I removed and left in the safe, next to the other fob. If I could cut that stupid u shaped tab off the fob I would. That faKey bangs into my pocket knife and sets off my OCD. But I will see about using it as a tar tool.

Use it to pop open the frunk jump cover?
