Curiosity Killed the…

Bamboo Pet Products, makers of barely-memorable items (I remember the red and white, little else) have just designed the stupidest thing out there: Feed and Toss Cat Bowls.

The idea behind this is to give your cat a clean and sterile dish each time he eats. I don’t know about you, but I’m quite confident in my ability to wash dishes. When all else fails I can even use my dishwasher.

What’s even more surprising than this gratuitous invention is that it was the 2007 AMPPA Award Winner. I’ve never heard of the AMPPA but it stands for the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association.
I tend to frown upon such organizations. The AAFCO is on my List as well. The Association of American Feed Control Officials are the idiots who think by-products and mystery meats are acceptable forms of nutrition.

But back to Bamboo: how wasteful! Is this designed for really, really lazy people or people who would rather buy plastic dish after plastic dish than spend a few honest dollars on ceramic, stoneware, or stainless steel dishes?

Plastic ends up on landfills; plastic is one of the worst materials out there and Bamboo thought it would brilliant to add more of it to the world?
What the hell were they thinking?!
