Review of Squishy Bowls from Guyot Designs

Weight: 16oz bowl, 3.3oz,

6oz cup, 1.7oz

Retail price: $15.95 USD

You can squish and squash them into the smallest corner of your pack, and when you're ready to eat, they snap back into shape. Made of food grade silicone, these bowls are temperature safe to 400F, making them handle boiling water easily.
