The Cantaloupe Bowl is a great way to conceal favorite fruits and snacks away from unfriendly moochers.
Since the cantaloupe bowl actually opens into two like a sliced melon, users can subtly store berries, pineapple, oranges or even use it as a regular snack bowl. Though it may be tempting for melon fans to use this realistic fruit cup as a go-to bowl, designer Melanie McKenney recommends only using it for cooler items like cereal, yogurt, ice cream and others. Unfortunately, cantaloupe is so tempting that this melon bowl will only avert a minor amount of people's appetite.
Be sure to keep this stored away from melon-lovers, as they could end up with sore teeth after biting into its tough surface.
