I love these little things! I first saw one at a fundraiser that I went to, where they were serving little amuse-bouche to the guests. I had a sick little dog at the time and had to give him medication SIX times a day! I IMMEDIATELY saw the use for these little dishes. Let me say before I go on, that they are also beautiful little dishes for small bites, so that we keep to the original purpose for them LOL! I STILL have three of the original four that I stole from the hotel. Yes, I stole them. I'm not even sorry about it. (They were throwing them away anyway, which I found shameful). My mother and I went around and gathered the four, wiped and washed them in the ladies bathroom, and secreted them away in our purses. They are AMAZING pill dispensers, and bead dispensers! My little dog does NOT fall for any medicine hidden in a treat. She will eat the treat from all around it and spit out the pill (little scamp!). So, I grind up her pill, add a little water, and put it in a tube along with a little water. I used to use many pieces of paper, or a spoon, which always made a mess. BUT - these little dishes, with their "spout" are PERFECT for dispensing liquid into a small tube! I also make beaded kumihimo braids as a hobby. These little dishes are PERFECT for holding all the seed beads and dispensing them where I need them. I bet the designer of these little dishes NEVER thought of that, or this company would be selling these to medical institutions as well! They are also really sturdy. Three years, and I'm still using the original ones that I got. I bought more because one cracked on the bottom when I pressed on it with WAY too much force, and I was afraid with only 3, I might run out. I thought I was just going to have be careful with them, and even contemplated going back to the hotel to see if they would sell me more. However, I don't know what keywords my husband used, but he found them on Amazon! I was so happy! But I have ground hundreds of pills in the other three and I still have them! I also keep ten in my craft box for my beads. Note: I handwash them. I have never put them in the dishwasher, not because I think they would melt, but they are small and light and might come loose from the rack, and go down into the mechanism. Anyhow, THESE. ARE. AWESOME!!
