Solution to a problem you never knew you had

I’m sure you have had this happen to you. You sit down to a nice bowl of Corn Pops or Fruity Pebbles, you set your spoon down to take a drink of OJ, and *SPLOOSH!* There goes your spoon into the sugary depths of milk in the bottom of your bowl.

Or worse yet, now that I am “grown up” and have real cutlery,  not the stuff you get 2 for a buck at Wal-Mart, the heavy duty stuff where if you drop it on your fork on the floor and accidentally step on it, it bites back instead of getting flattened. The kind of cutlery that is heavy enough to capsize your cereal bowl when you get to bottom, sloshing that aforementioned sugary pink (from the Fruity Pebbles) liquid all over the table… or more likely your clean shirt, causing you to have to change and end up late for work? (And no, I will not confirm or deny that any of the above has ever actually happened to me.)

Well, worry no more.

These bowls from UncommonGoods.com have built in wings that hold your spoon above the fray, keeping your bowl in perfect balance as you down your OJ and toast (part of this nutritious breakfast). And at a mere $21 per bowl - which includes the spoon, you can choose from three different colors. But even though it’s just the name, I’m still prone to skip the tofu (white) on principle… and I don’t care much for black beans… so I think I’m stuck with the Pacific blue.

Of course, at that price, you can probably just remember to set your spoon beside your bowl so you don’t have to worry bout splooshing or sloshing, and buy some better cereal.
