Abstract
Disclosed is a bowl that has a cereal section and a milk and fruit section that are separated by a continuous dividing wall. The milk and fruit section has a downward slope from the dividing wall that causes the milk to enter a curved bottom section from which the eater can take the last of the cereal and milk onto his/her spoon. Also disclosed is a cover for the bowl that makes a liquid tight seal on the milk and fruit section and also covers the cereal section.
Claims20
A cereal bowl comprising two main sections enclosed within an outer bowl wall, the first main section consisting of a cereal section;
- the second main section consisting of a milk and fruit section;
- each of said main sections being separated by a continuous dividing wall extending throughout a transverse length of the cereal bowl;
- the milk and fruit section having at least two bottom surfaces having a downward slope toward a horizontal outer boundary line which is displaced from the continuous dividing wall, said outer boundary line being an upper boundary of a curved bottom section defining a concavity having curved ends which are formed in the milk and fruit section, the outer boundary line closest to the continuous dividing wall being separated from said dividing wall by one of the downward sloping bottom surfaces of said milk and fruit section.
A cereal bowl comprising two main sections enclosed within an outer bowl wall and a single plastic cover, the first main section consisting of a cereal section;
- the second main section consisting of a milk and fruit section;
- each of said main sections being separated by a continuous dividing wall extending throughout a transverse length of the cereal bowl;
- the milk and fruit section having at least two bottom surfaces having a downward slope toward a horizontal outer boundary line which is displaced from the continuous dividing wall, said boundary line being an upper boundary of a curved bottom section defining a concavity having curved ends which are formed in the milk and fruit section;
- the single plastic cover forming a liquid tight seal placed within an interior surface of the milk and fruit section, the liquid tight seal preventing the milk from coming out of the milk and fruit section, the cover also extending over the cereal section which prevents the cereal from falling out of the cereal bowl.
A method for keeping breakfast dry cereal crispy while eating that cereal with milk, the method having the following steps:
- a) creating a special bowl for eating breakfast dry cereal that has two sections, a cereal section and a milk and fruit section, these two sections being separated from each other by a continuous dividing wall that has an inclined surface in the direction of the cereal section of the cereal bowl, the milk and fruit section having sloped bottom surfaces that each slope downward toward a horizontal outer boundary line of a curved bottom section that is placed away from the dividing wall;
- b) placing a dry breakfast cereal into the cereal section of the cereal bowl;
- c) placing milk into the milk and fruit section of the cereal bowl;
- d) using a spoon to first pick up some cereal and then placing the spoon with the cereal into the milk so as to add milk to the dry cereal;
- and
- e) placing the spoon with dry cereal and milk into the eater's mouth.
