It's an epidemic!  Forget hunger, pestilence, disease, the slowing economy, or those arguing Democrats dear reader....drippy cups are the ruination of the world.  P.S. - Our Nazi principal dropped the whole 'you can only bring juice boxes to school' issue too like a hot potato due to the overwhelming parental outrage expressed at the last PTA meeting.  I suggested Wateroos (water and fruit flavored water in juice boxes) and she really flipped her wig - I swear she's on the juice box payroll.

So, I was sending my munchkin to school with a really cute, spill-proof, insulated, SpongeBob cup by Munchkin but they tend to disappear.  It's a shame too because the SpongeBob motif helped dispel that whole 'you're still a baby using that spill-proof cup' thing.  They have a cute Backyardigans one too.  (Can someone please tell me what a Uniqua is?)   I'm not sure if they've joined our single socks in insulated, spill proof cup heaven, joined the spill-proof protection program or one of the other kids just helped themselves to them.....at this point, who knows, who cares.  I just needed to find a suitable replacement and fast.....and I did. 

Now, this product may have been out there in the market for a while and I just didn't know about it but it's a god send.  It's a spill proof, mature looking, straw cup by Munchkin.  I've had these before and they've leaked but not this baby.  I find anything with a straw will disappoint but I stand corrected.  Despite what you're thinking, I'm not a spokesperson for Munchkin....if only, I wish, I'd be selling these things door to door for them or I'd advertise them at my shows.  The straw is really tough too it withstood being sat on by one of the fathers in the park after school today.  Needless to say, it's getting an extra run through the dish washer tonight. 

I gave up on thermoses because they also tend to take walks too or maybe they just get thrown out in the rush to clean up the lunch room.....again, who knows, who cares.
