Sep 4 2009Gyro Kid's Bowl Makes Spilling More Difficult
Let's face it: kids were born to make your life a living hell and wreak havoc on your house and mental health whenever possible (note: this is all speculation, I don't actually have any kids. ANYMORE -- they're all growed up!). So why not minimize the damage the little imps can do to your kitchen with a $10 Gyro Toddler Food Bowl? "No matter which way the handles of this bowl are turned, the food in the middle stays upright." Awesome. Wait -- is that caramel corn? TODDLERS DON'T EAT CARAMEL CORN!! What are you, trying to kill the little bastard? Cause you know they fetch a pretty penny on the black market. I mean, I'VE HEARD. Firsthand (meet me behind the Dollar General).

I don't have a kid, but I wouldn't mind having this for when I'm hammered drunk.
Oh yeah!

genius! love it.

cool but kids dont usually throw bowls, they take the food out and throw the food. Now if we could get a bowl that hides the food that would be cool
11. rasha - September 4, 2009 5:57 PM
too bad the little shit can just pick up the bowl and dump the food on its head... FAIL!

Phht! Babies are never that clean when you eat them!

Yeah, why should they learn to carry and balance properly?
Let's use this to take away their fine motor skills, hell, they won't need that until they actually perform any operations or use heavy machinery!

I wonder if this can be made into a makeshift steady cam for camcorders and dslr's.

Since when did they make bowls out of lamb meat and pitas?
20. gizmoduck - September 6, 2009 5:01 AM
i'd like to poop on that thing

The only way that's 'gyroscopic' is that it looks a bit like one. Hmph.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photohsop job. You can tell its a fake because the shedow's are all wrong.
This is exactl like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja were delivering papers on roller skates. Some neighborhood kids came after them with water balloons, Max got away but Baja got doused.

It's not fake. You can buy one on ThinkGeek and can also check it out here http://www.loopabowl.com/
I've seen this in action on many occasions, and while it isn't spill proof, it is well engineered and is spill resistant. The inside rotates independently of the center which rotates independently of the handles.
You can't throw it across the room or anything like that, but it does work.

i want one!

This was designed by David Bizzel at Enventys as part of the PBS show Everydat Edisons. I did an internship there last summer.

"...while it isn't spill proof, it is well engineered and is spill resistant. The inside rotates independently of the center which rotates independently of the handles. "
I tried to file a patent for something that does the same thing but cheaper and more efficiently, but it got rejected on the grounds that it was a dog dish.

No spills = No lessons. A better solution would be a dustpan and a whisk broom, which arguably they should be able to master at some point as well, no?
