Radical CaliBowls: They're like, totally spill-proof
user
Anyone who regularly cleans up after uncoordinated toddlers,
careless teens, or hungry husbands will appreciate the insane
genius of the
CaliBowl. Daily Grommet took them for a spin and found
that their sleek, patent-pending design makes it nearly impossible
to spill its contents while you’re scooping them out. Cereal and
milk? Spaghetti and meatballs? Chips and salsa? Bring it on,
dude!
Surfer dad Jeff Bollengier designed CaliBowl to deal with the
bummer of not getting enough salsa on his chips. But no matter what
you're dishing out in your CaliBowl, food will stay put thanks
to its unique edge. The lip of the bowl literally pushes the
contents onto your chip or utensil (or right back into the bowl) in
a wave-like action. It’s hard to explain, but once you see CaliBowl
at work (watch the video, man) you’ll be hooked and think of dozens
of uses.
CaliBowl comes in ceramic or polypropylene, a plastic polymer made
from partially recycled materials, and they're all dishwasher
and microwave safe. And when you're ready to retire it, you can
return the bowl (they'll recycle the materials) and you can get
a 20% discount on your next one. Now that's awesome.

toddler bowl here.

Is it hard to clean the gunk out from underneath the lip of the bowl?

No. The inside of the bowl is in the shape of a wave so there's no real place that food could get stuck. The sleek design and the subtle lip makes it so that the food just glides in the bowl and cleaning is simple. You've got to try it. I'm hooked!

This product will change bowl based eating forever! We've designed a better mouse trap. We've declared war on the obselete conventional bowl... :)

Jules here from Daily Grommet---we made the video and wrote this story. When we picked the Cali Bowl as a Grommet our first thought was salsa spillovers. That was reason enough to test the product. But now we are hearing from our customers that small children do much better with the Cali Bowl. And cereal and ice cream eaters who buy it never turn back.
I'd like to serve blueberry pie in it, when I see what happens at my home. Not the most elegant way to eat pie but I have three messy sons.....

Jules, I have six messy sons, and I swear by them. I even sent about 10 of them with my oldest son to college in Pennsylvania!
