Great for eating pistachios - a convenient and handy place for the shells. Also a good place to leave your cherry pits.Neat disposal of shells when you are enjoying your favorite shelled nut snack! Saves room on table being a stacked dish. Would worked for shelled peanuts too. Versatile - you could really even use bottom bowl for chips and top for dip. Cleans easily. Could be cute gift with a bag or 2 of nuts included!This is just genius, I have no idea how I made it through my life until now without it. It is some simple and convienient.I love pistachios and this is a great little bowl for shelling the nuts. Easy to use and nicely made.I love to eat pistachios while watching tv. I have one little bowl for the pistachios and one for the shells that I have to juggle while sitting on the couch, but I still need 2 hands to open the pistachios, so it's a pain. Saw this double bowl and knew it would be perfect--and it is! Now I can hold the double bowl on my lap while i open the pistachios, and there's way less mess. I read the reviews and people mentioned that it was small so I was expecting something a lot smaller than I got. I think it's a great size, but I'm using it as a personal dish, not a snackholder for parties, maybe they wanted something bigger for multiple people to eat out of? This would also be great for candies that have a wrapper.Where has this been all my pistachios life? What a wonderful bowl.Excellent productThis is so popular with my family, I had to buy two more to gift to family members who live in different households!I returned this bowl. For one it came cracked but I didn't want to exchange it because the top bowl does not stay firm in place. It slides all over. Good concept and was very excited to buy it but it was not well made.Bought this as a Father's Day present this year and he loved it! Used it a few times and most recently when we went to wash it we noticed that there was a star crack on the bottom of the small top bowl reaching the edges. We never put it in the dishwasher or dropped the bowl so aren't sure as to how this would occur. The bowl is still functional for now however it is still upsetting for something like this to happen to a product out of the blue.Does as advertised. Becareful not to drop the plastic is quite thin. But can hold a good amount of whatever snack you would like to put in.Great gadget. Guests are always impressed with it. Nice pop of color on the bowlPerfect!!!
