Abstract

The present invention is a uniquely shaped divided bowl that has two separated sections: 1) a cereal section, and 2) a milk and fruit section. These sections are approximately the same size. The consumer places the dry cereal into the cereal section and then places milk and fruit into the milk and fruit section. It should be understood that the consumer might chose to have only milk in the milk and fruit section. An important feature of the design of the milk and fruit section is a groove at its bottom surface into which the last of the milk and fruit goes so that the last bites can be consumed without titling the bowl.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bowl designed to allow dry cereal to be consumed without allowing the dry cereal to become soggy as it is consumed, the bowl design including:
 a cereal section explicitly designed for the placement of a dry cereal or a mixture of dry cereals;   a milk and fruit section designed for the placement of milk to which some fruit could be added, the milk and fruit section being separated from the cereal section by means of a mechanical divide; and   a grooved section within the milk and fruit section that allows the last remaining portion of milk or milk and fruit to be removed without tipping the bowl.   
   
   
       2 . The bowl of  claim 1  in which fruit has been added to the cereal placed in the cereal section. 
   
   
       3 . A method for consuming dry cereal with milk without allowing the dry cereal to become soggy, the method having the following steps:
 a) place dry cereal with or without fruit into the cereal section;   b) place milk with or without fruit into the milk and fruit section;   c) use a spoon to take some dry cereal out of the cereal section;   d) take the spoon with the cereal and add at least milk from the milk and fruit section;   e) place the tablespoon with the dry cereal and the milk and fruit into the mouth; and   f) repeat this procedure until the consumer is satisfied that he/she has had enough of the cereal.
