Ooops! Uh-oh! Watch Out!Let’s face it kids spill stuff, but now parents can relax whenever kids snack.
I want to relax!
Introducing the gyro bowl. The first ever snack bowl that spins and spins and stuff stays in.The gyro bowl is 100% totally absolutely kid proof.
100% kid proof is something I could use in every area of my life.
Just fill the gyro bowl and you are ready to go. The magic is in the middle. The gyro bowl works just like a globe. The gyro bowl‘s inner bowl rotates 360 degrees and magically stays open side up no matter what.
Magical!
So the gyro bowl keeps all your snacks inside wherever you bounce swing or fly. Now kids can use the amazing gyro bowl as a super snack contraption. Fill it up with raisins or cereal and rev up the action.Kids love the new gyro bowl because it is fun and it never spills!
NEVER SPILLS? Sign me up!
And so I bought the spill-proof contraption.And forgot about it for the following 5 weeks it took to be delivered.
Well, not exactly forgot because when I ordered I was required to enter my telephone number. I then received 3 calls times a few days after I made my purchase trying to sell me OTHER things like memberships to buyers programs and gasoline.
What the heck?
I very rudely stopped the calls with a little yelling and some faux-obscenities.
Eventually I received the life changing item. But once again, the as-seen-on-tv purchase ended up to be not just one life changing item, but TWO. I guess it was buy one, get one free and I didn’t even know it. And by free I mean I am sure I was charged an obscene amount of shipping and handling for the second one. I have lived 41 years without one miracle container, but now I need two?
Does the Gyro Bowl Work?
Good question! I was impressed with the quality of the plastic. It is sturdy and moving it all around is extremely addicting…and a bit mesmerizing.
Then I added Cheerios and lost all interest. Within a few seconds there was cereal all over my floor and several of the pieces were stuck in the magical inner workings that rendered the 360 degree rotation useless.
It comes with a lid, but my lid didn’t seem to fit very well and popped off. Rhett(5) accidentally dropped it and the inner part and the inner part rotation device fell out. I was able to easily put it back together and assume this is what would need to be done to clean it.
The commercial shows kids eating out of them in the car. I am not even going to re-enact that unless I am driving directly to the car wash for a detail.
It is a cool looking thing that we will never use.
Anyone want one?Anyone want some WOW containers?
Anyone want some pajama jeans?How about a booty pop?
Have you noticed how most of the kids in the infomercial hold the Gyro Bowl? Like little soldiers. I can imagine the director sternly saying “Don’t you dare move your hand. You can swing your arm A LITTLE but don’t spill that food!”
I know!!! That is part of the problem. If you give this to a child they will be POSSESSED to twirl it around. I can’t even imagine how many re-takes were involved.
Oh Holly… you poor dear, always falling victim to the infomercial… 🙂 Just kidding… I, on the other hand, annoy my mother and daughter because i overly criticize them all… And this dumb bowl, (which, in my half awake state i just spelled “bole”… what the heck?!?!?) I never believed in it’s false promises…
My boys *need* this! Just like they needed the pancake puff pan and the pillow pets. Trying to get them to understand bait and switch is becoming easier and easier.
Thought it was the coolest device like, eveh! Too bad. Except my darling would have put a small animal in it (stuffed or live) so I’m glad that I will never get it now… Thanks!!
I was really hoping it would work too. My car floor stays a mess. But then again, the gyro bowl couldn’t save me from the toddler that grabs Cheerios out of her bowl by the handful and PURPOSELY throws them up in the air while she laughs.
Holly, I love when you buy things off infomercials and tell us about them…except, really? I was REALLY hoping it would work. Maybe you should give it a second chance. I NEED THIS CONTRAPTION TO WORK. THE INFOMERCIAL PROMISED THAT IT WOULD NEVER SPILL. NEED. IT. TO. WORK.

When do you have time to watch info commercials??? LOL! You can my mom know more about this stuff than anyone I know!

Misty, It is a public service…the least I can do to contribute to the world.
I buy it so you don’t have to!
hahaha

ya, my pancake puff thingy I used once. The boys do love their pillow pets!
It is a shame it doesn’t work. It looks really cool!

One more device designed to teach our kids about life without consequence.
Behold, the sissification of America.
Stop reading my blog! Don’t you have work to do?

ha! No, it isn’t going to help you there…I have that issue myself. Only the kids are older and know better!
Kim-
Your girl has Mardi Gras in her blood…what do you expect? 🙂
OH so very disappointing! I really held out hope for this one…Guess I’ll just stick with the Pajama Jeans.
I know! I thought it had such promise. Silly gyro bowl!

I WANTED it to work too. If you want one to try with a younger child…:)
