Pizza slice container
A pizza slice container includes an upper member having an upper surface; a lower member having a bottom surface and at least one sidewall, the lower member attached to the upper member by at least one hinge, wherein the upper surface and the bottom surface are opposed. The upper member includes at least one retention spike extending from the upper surface of the upper member toward the bottom surface of the lower member. The lower member includes at least one retaining tab extending substantially perpendicular from a sidewall of the lower member; and at least one rib extending from the bottom surface of the lower member toward the upper surface of the upper member. The upper and lower members are movable with respect to one another between an open position and a closed position. Other embodiments of the pizza slice container, and methods for its use, are described herein.
Heated or cooled dishware and drinkware
An actively heated mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container is provided. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can include a body that receives a liquid therein and a heating or cooling system at least partially disposed in the body. The heating or cooling system can include one or more heating or cooling elements that heat a surface of the receiving portion of the body and one or more energy storage devices. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can include a wireless power receiver that wirelessly receives power from a power source and control circuitry configured to charge one or more power storage elements and to control the delivery of electricity from the one or more power storage elements to the one or more heating or cooling elements. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container also can have one or more sensors that sense a parameter of the liquid or sense a parameter of the heating or cooling system and communicates the sensed information to the control circuitry. The control circuitry can turn on, turn off, and/or operate the heating or cooling element to actively heat or cool at least a portion of the body to maintain the liquid in a heated or cooled state generally at a user selected temperature setting based at least in part on the sensed parameter information. The mug, travel mug, baby bottle, water bottle or liquid container can also be paired with a remote device or mobile electronic device to send or receive communications or commands.
MEASURED FOOD STORAGE APPARATUS
A measured food storage apparatus comprising a base portion having at least two defined sections for receiving specified contents, at least one of said sections being configured to removably receive a decanting device. The decanting device has a base and at least one outer side wall, defining a receptacle for receiving specified contents. In use, when said decanting device is releasably attached to said base portion of the measured food storage apparatus, the at least one side wall thereof defines a compartment on said base portion.
CONTAINERS
Containers are provided herein of various shapes and sizes including, in some embodiments, containers with side access ports of custom configurations and shapes. The port may be shaped like a hammer or other shapes, and may, in some embodiments have a removable cover placed thereover. In further embodiments, multi-compartment containers are disclosed that may be provided with multiple compartments

SECURE-GRIP DISPOSABLE DISH FOR FOOD
The embodiments provide a secure-grip disposable dish for food. A food surface and a raised rim together give the dish to some extent a concave shape. The dish includes a void for receiving a user's thumb. In a first embodiment the void for receiving a user's thumb is configured as a slot. In a second embodiment the void for receiving a user's thumb is configured as an aperture. An elevated shelf proximal to the void for receiving a user's thumb can be included to provide a spot for the tip of a user's thumb to rest on when the dish is in use. In an alternative embodiment, a void for receiving one or more fingers of a user is substituted for the void for receiving a user's thumb.

LEARNING TABLEWARE SET
According to an example of the present disclosure, a learning tableware set includes a bowl and a spoon used in cooperation with the bowl. The bowl includes a bowl bottom and a curved bowl wall. The bowl bottom includes a peripheral recessed portion on one side of the bowl bottom. One side of the curved bowl wall is annularly connected to an edge of the side of the bowl bottom, and the other side of the curved bowl wall, which is not connected to the bowl bottom, includes a protruding edge extending toward a central axis of the bowl bottom. The spoon includes a holding portion and a scooping portion connected to the holding portion, and a curve of one end of the scooping portion away from the holding portion matches a curve of the peripheral recessed portion.
Cylindrical container with pleated sidewall that converts into a serving bowl
A container for holding a product such as snack food, wherein the container is transformable from a cylindrical shape to a bowl shape adapted to hold and provide easy access to the product. The container has a pleated sidewall comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending rigid sidewall panels and pleats, with each sidewall panel connected to adjacent pleats by frangible lines extending in the longitudinal direction.
BOWL AND LID SET
A bowl and lid set includes a lid member that has a top lid wall and a first surrounding wall extending downwardly from the top lid wall, and a bowl member that includes a bottom wall and a side wall extending upwardly from a periphery of the bottom wall. The side wall has an upper engaging portion that is made of an elastic material and that is deformable from a non-deformed state, where the bowl member is disengaged from the lid member and where a minimum inner diameter of the upper engaging portion is smaller than a maximum outer diameter of the first surrounding wall of the lid member, to a deformed state, where the upper engaging portion is resiliently stretched for tightly encircling the first surrounding wall.
