The original Ping was painfully written in Perl.

To-Go Breakfast Bowls

This morning, I was running a bit late. By the time I was supposed to be headed out the door, I had just finished my shower and hadn’t even packed lunch or eaten breakfast (or written my Ping) yet. It only took me a few minutes to pack lunch, but we were out my normal “to go” breakfasts of english muffins or bagels. So, I decided to pack myself some cereal.

Then, I realized that there’s a market for those of us that would like to have cereal at work but don’t want to transport the cereal and milk in two separate containers. Couldn’t “they” develop a two-chamber container that holds cereal in one and milk in the other, not letting one mix with the other? Perhaps the milk chamber could even be kept cool? Even cooler would be the ability to lift a lever and the milk would then go from its chamber into the cereal chamber.

And, of course, there would have to room for a spoon.

This product has already been patented, produced and sold. I spotted this item in a magazine at a doctors office and read that it could be found/purchased by accessing curves.com. I searched the website high and low with no indication as to how to purchase this ever so convenient item. I will continue to search, but if anyone has any luck finding any more info, please let me know?! Thanks.

This product exists, it is called Cereal on the Go, even has a gel-lined freezable container to pour your milk into, to keep it cold during the commute… I have one, it works really well. I bought mine here:

my invented product is a single used paper package for milk ‘n Cereal to go. It’s used at recently opened cereal restaurant serving cereal to go for hurry customer who can’t eat on place or immediately. As an inventor I must did a patent search in order not to reinvent the wheel.

What is this then?

The Daily Ping is the web's finest compendium of toilet information and Oreo™® research. Too much? Okay, okay, it's a daily opinion column written by two friends. Did we mention we've been doing this for over ten years? Tell me more!
