Product Review: Gyrobowl

Please tell me I'm not the only person who has seen the commercial for Gyrobowl and thought, "That is SO COOL!"  It wasn't until my daughter was old enough to carry about her own snacks, but not old enough to balance the containers well enough to keep them from spilling that I finally broke down and ordered them.

I ordered them from their main website,  http://www.gyrobowl.com, taking advantage of their "buy one get one free" special.  Even though they said there would be a 3-week delay, they arrived within two weeks' time.

The one thing that happened that I did NOT like at all was they called me personally to tell me that they were on back-order (that's not the bad part) and then proceeded to try to sell me a membership in some money-saving club thing.  The girl talked SO FAST that I couldn't really grasp everything she was telling me, then she wanted me to verify my credit card number that I'd used to order the gyrobowls.  Ummm, no!!  I got off the phone with her, and then thought, "I better make sure they understand that I did NOT want to have my card charged for anything more than the gyrobowls."  I called them back, and actually got the same girl, and she assured me that I would get no other charges.  I kinda wish I had given her some friendly proper-customer-service advice, but I didn't.  (Don't hate me because I used to be a telemarketer!)

Sooooo, on to the review.....as you can see from the pictures below, the Gyrobowl is a great hit with my daughter!  It is, however, not entirely spill-proof.  The Very First Time she used it, she crammed her hand in the bowl which made the contents come up the sides and spill out. Other than that, as long as she shows a little bit of restraint, it does work quite well.
