Bowl Separates Milk, Cereal to Avoid Sogginess

by Robert Quigley | 2:21 pm, April 12th, 2011

The Obol is a cereal bowl with two separate compartments: One for milk, one for cereal. Or cookies. (This is very important.)

Obol® is The Original Crispy Bowl® that solves the problem of soggy cereal. With the unique Swoop n Scoop®, the Obol makes every bite as crispy as the first bite. The Spiral Slide design makes it possible to enjoy your cereal until the last bite. You can set the Obol down to write an email or answer the phone knowing your cereal will never get soggy. The easy to hold, textured non-slip grip and rim makes it easy to eat anywhere. It’s perfect for eating in bed or while watching a movie. Kids love it! The Obol is great for crispy crackers with soup.

Available for $18.95, or $50 for a three-pack.

    I have a feeling that this will appear in a user experience or usability text book in a few years as an example of how the obvious “solution” to a problem may not be for the best.

    Hells no, I want these. Not to be a stereotype… but rice on one side, meat and veggies in the other. Hey hey… I got my tax return… looks like I’m getting some bowls.

    Thought this was great. I’ll wait to see if they get less expensive.

    And yet it got MORE expensive since this article was posted. -sigh-

    I had really hoped to get this as a gift for someone. But I just can’t justify spending $20 on a bowl….
