Abstract
A funnel that is both functional and storage-efficient is disclosed. A funnel when properly stored takes up no more space than the funnel body itself; when its fully extended can be as long as 30 inches long—longer than any funnel seen in the general consumer market. At its most flexible posture the funnel can be made snake-like to reach the most hard-to reach areas, such as the underside of an automobile or the backside under the kitchen sink.
