“These bowls are a nice option for travelware or households with kids or elder members. The bottom of the bowl is thicker so it's slightly weighted for stability. It is flexible, but not floppy, so it's also easy for little hands and older hands to manage. Most important; you can't break these bowls. If you want to use them outside, or on your boat or RV, you'll get a lot of use out of them. They go through the dishwasher like champs, too.”
