The fact that these cereal bowls are pink and turquoise should give you a clue as to just how long I've had them. See boys and girl, there was a time long long ago when that was THE color combination. We're talking the 80's with a little carry over into the early 90's. Which is when I got the set of which these bowls were a part.I was working at Target at the time, and living in my first apartment. Came across a set of dishes on clearance for $5 because one of the cups was missing. I needed dishes for my new apartment. Plus I could easily take a cup out of one of the complete sets, put it in the clearance box and *voila* have a complete set of dishes for $5. A complete set of pink and turquoise dishes.
Now I've long since gotten rid of the set but I kept the bowls. Why? Because, though they are indeed ugly as hell, they are the perfect size for cereal and the perfect side steepness. And if you think they're ugly now after nearly 20 years of fading you should've seen them new. (Now that I've written this I'm finding it hard to fathom how long I've had these bowls... TWO DECADES!!!)
