It's the tiny handle on the syrup bottle
Is it still skuomorphism if nobody knows what it's for or what it represents?
Personally, I wouldn't buy that maple syrup -- not because of the presence / absence of the handle, but because it's a screw-on top. I get Maple Syrup with a flip-top closure, so that dried syrup doesn't interfere with opening and closing the bottle.
I always wondered if those are structurally sound enough to be slung from a small rope.
I'm also not willing to risk my delicious maple syrup to find out.
You could probably use it to hang it from a small hook. Like if you wanted a dedicated syrup hook in your bedroom
Water and syrup have about the same weight, give it a shot with an empty bottle.
If it's filled with water, it wouldn't be empty

A handle is a handle. If it's there, I'm going to use it. I'll just complain about it after.
