Tacky, but undeniably interesting are these big snack bowls lined with graphics of potato and tortilla chips, popcorn, salad and mixed fruit The [snack bowls from Perpetual Kid](http://www.perpetualkid.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1496) are great gifts for the dormitory-bound student, hostess or a lover of snacks.

If the party involves heavy drinking, these dishes could become confusing for intoxicated guests who think the 10" bowl is still full!

On the up side, since the melamine chip bowls are already shiny, you won't have to worry about the grease glistening on your dishes!

The popcorn bowl is $15.99, the salad and mixed fruit bowls are $17.99, as are the potato and tortilla chip bowls.
