After seeing how the Hefty Serve ‘n Store interlocking plates and bowls work, I now have a better understanding of how two adolescent teens with braces making out behind the library could easily get stuck together.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the Serve ‘n Store plates and bowls didn’t give me a better understanding of how to separate two adolescent teens with braces that got stuck together while making out behind the library. I think only an orthodontist could help me with that.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the Serve ‘n Store plastic disposable tableware is to allow you to serve, store, and eat leftovers. Every plate is a lid, and every lid is a plate, locking together like Legos or two adolescent teens with braces making out behind the library.<\/p>\n

The whole plate-lid thing sort of confuses me, much like every time I see Latoya Jackson and wonder if it’s really Latoya or if it’s Michael with plastic surgery that makes him look black again. How do I know the lid is actually the lid and not the plate? Someone could easily flip it on me and mess with my mind.<\/p>\n

Locking together the Serve ‘n Store plates and bowls are significantly easier than solving a Sudoku puzzle<\/a> and they are also not as addictive to play with as Sudoku puzzles.<\/p>\n

I found the Serve ‘n Store plates very convenient when I wanted to pack away food in single servings, but I also found them inconvenient because they weren’t microwaveable. I could serve, store, and eat food, but I just couldn’t warm it up.<\/p>\n

However, after some extra research I found that I may not be able to warm up food with the Serve ‘n Store, but I could entertain with them. If you combine two Serve ‘n Store plates they make a decent frisbee. If you add some bells to your frisbee, it turns into a decent tambourine, and you can pretend to be Cher or any female singer from the 1960s or 1970s.<\/p>\n

Besides not being able to put the Serve ‘n Store in the microwave, another thing that bothered me was the irritating sound<\/a> that the locked plates and bowls made when pulled apart. <\/p>\n

But I guess I should be glad that the irritating sound won’t make Biggie and Tupac want to roll over in their graves like Kevin Federline’s upcoming rap album<\/a> will.<\/p>\n

Although when I added an 80s dance beat to the irritating sound, it sounded much better<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also sounded better when I added an edgy rock beat<\/a> and a weird house<\/a> beat.<\/p>\n

But the irritating sound became even more disturbing when I added an 80s dance beat, plus a video of me stripping<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(Editor’s Note: Thanks to Charlie Kondek from Hass MS&L for sending me the Hefty Serve ‘n Store to review.)<\/small><\/p>\n

(Editor’s Note 2: Our friend at Cheap Eats also did a review of this product, which you can read here<\/a>.)<\/small><\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Hefty Serve ‘n Store
\nPurchase Price:<\/b> FREE (suggested retail price $2.69)
\nRating:<\/b> 3 out of 5
\nPros:<\/b> Convenient way to store stuff. Better than Kevin Federline’s upcoming rap album. Combining two plates make a decent frisbee. Combining two plates and some bells make a decent tambourine.
\nCons:<\/b> Can’t microwave. Separating the interlocking plates and bowls causes an irritating sound. Ten-inch plates come in a 15-count pack, so one plate will be lonely. Kevin Federline’s upcoming rap album. People who buy Kevin Federline’s upcoming rap album, all two of them, including his mom and Britney.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
