Verbally-Abusive Dinner Plates

Controlling portions used to be a hassle until Worrisome dinner plates showed up. These plates are perfect for portion control and dieters who need a little extra push.

The Worrisome dinner plate is unique because of the catchy slogans that surround the rim. Inspirational phrases like “For the love of God stop eating” and “It’s hard to be around you when you eat like this” encourage you to put your fork down and hit the gym…or go see a therapist.

If you really need to get your message across but can’t say what you need to say, then let the Worrisome dinner plate do it for you.
