The present invention is a food plate that has weakening lines near the edge of the plate. The weakening lines define removable areas on the food plate. A person can use the present invention as a traditional food plate to hold a plate of food. He or she also can use the unique features of the present invention. By detaching the removable sections defined by the weakening lines, a user can create recesses on the food plate. The user can then put his or her index finger and thumb into the recesses to hold a drink on the top surface of the food plate, and use his or her other fingers to support the food plate from the bottom of the plate.

Disclosed herein are compounds having the formula (I) wherein a dashed line represents the presence or absence of a bond; Y is an organic acid functional group, or an amide or ester thereof; or Y is hydroxymethyl or an ether thereof; or Y is a tetrazolyl functional group; A is (CH.sub.2).sub.6, cis CH.sub.2CHCH(CH.sub.2).sub.3, or CH.sub.2CC(CH.sub.2).sub.3, wherein 1 or 2 carbon atoms may be replaced by S or O; or A is (CH.sub.2).sub.mAr(CH.sub.2).sub.o wherein Ar is interarylene or heterointerarylene, the sum of m and o is 1, 2, 3, or 4, and wherein 1 CH.sub.2 may be replaced by S or O, and 1 CH.sub.2CH.sub.2 may be replaced by CHCH or CC; U.sup.1 and U.sup.2 are independently selected from H, O, OH, F, Cl, and CN; and B is aryl or heteroaryl, for use as acular hypotensive agent. ##STR00001##

A system of place-setting components used to facilitate serving and eating healthy food portions. The place-setting system comprising: a plate and a nestable set of two or more serving spoons. The plate includes one or more serving areas corresponding to a portion size for one or more food components of a meal. Each of the serving spoons in the nestable set includes a bowl-shaped cup and a handle. The handle of the serving spoons comprising: a first segment, extending distally from the proximal end of the handle, with a portion of a distal-most section of the first segment extending upward; a second segment connected to the first segment, with the second segment extending downward; a third segment connected to the second segment, with the third segment extending generally upward; and a fourth segment connected to the third segment, with the fourth segment extending generally distally.

Temporarily mutually connectable cups for efficiently serving all kinds of beverages and foods such as granular food, crisps, sauces, soup, and yoghurt. The cups have special fully integrated hook elements in the cup wall or on the handles with stabilizing thumb holding parts and the wall (2) has a thickness d. With the integrated hook elements several surrounding cups are temporarily mutually connected with a central cup to form a group of serving cups, facilitating the carrying of the cups by a waiter or waitress.

A container support apparatus can include a base body having a first portion, a second portion, and a boundary region between the first and second portions. The apparatus can include a first straight lateral connector member and a second straight lateral connector member, each formed at least in part from the first portion of the base body. The apparatus can include a bottom support member disposed in a coplanar position with the first portion of the base body in an undeployed state. The first and second lateral connector members can undergo downward angular pitching in conjunction with the bottom support member undergoing simultaneous vertical translation and planar rotation relative to the second portion of the base body during transition from the undeployed state to a deployed state, and the bottom support member can maintain a parallel orientation relative to the second portion of the base body during this transition.

Social awareness about health, to include eating habits is rising in understanding and importance. Despite awareness about portion size and emphasizing, deemphasizing, or balancing calories, fats, salt, sugars, and other food components; there is still interest in food choice. One approach to variety with health consideration is to sample favorite foods or foods of interest rather than limiting one's selection and feeling obligated to consume fuller portion sizes. Sampling of solid foods is more easily done with a typical or even divided disposable plate. However, sampling liquid based foods is more difficult. One can do so by using multiple bowls, cups, or even reverting to sharing but these options are hard to carry and sharing with others than a close loved one is not advised. The MultiBowl of this disclosure provides a solution by forming one or more partitions into a typical individual use food bowl to divide the single serving well into two or more serving wells. Although possible, the MultiBowl is not intended to replace a formal table setting, but is ideal for banquets, picnics, get-togethers, parties, snacking, and other such events where stackability at a point of service and easy clean up with disposability are useful. It also becomes immediately useful for crafts, hobbies, sorting, repairs at home or work, and other times when multiple containers can be substituted with the MultiBowl. The MultiBowl provides solution for simplicity with multiple service wells, expected affordability, multiple availability from stackability, and temporary durability with disposability.
