Unpacking Reveals Ultimate Plasticware Surprise!

I have no use for cold weather clothes now that we are back from San Francisco and thus, have neglected unpacking for quite a long time now. I got tired of the exploding suitcase wallowing in the corner of the bedroom today - and finally emptied it. A few layers of clothing in, I found a small plastic package and remembered the neato plasticware I swiped from the Google IO lunchroom. Oh the excitement!

This plasticware was awesome. It was so different then any other tableware I have ever seen, that I felt the need to grab a *few* packs. The picture doesn't do it justice at all.
They are heavy, well balanced and nearly pearlescent. The scoop of the spoon is delightfully shallow and yet I feel like I could dig through the manliest of ice cream sundays with this tool. The plastic is smooth and very nice to hold. No hard edges or trailing nubbies from the production line.

I also love that the handle is designed in a manner that doesn't rely on a filled in center and hopefully saves materials. The other great feature of the entire set (which isn't visible in the image) is the text on each piece "COMPOSTABLE". Whether it really is or not, it's a nice change from the blindingly white stiff plastic forks and knives of yesterday. This is the plasticware of the future!

And of course, we find it at Google IO.
