my favorite!! As recently as 2 years ago we found a chip and dip combo that played the Mexican Hat dance when you removed the lid. They must be sold out by now.

Wow, I have a bowl just like the mixing bowl in that Aunt Jemima ad. I inherited a set of 4 bowls of different sizes just like that from my mother-in-law.

I use it as a fruit bowl.
