If you are eating your ramen noodles and want to go all fancy with the bowl - here is a $39 solution - a soup bowl / mug bowl that even holds your chopsticks for you. I will admit, it did keep the hot soup away from my hands as I ate. I also never lost my chopsticks while 'on the move.' It is a great design and all, but would people really fork over that much cash to hold a simple soup?

(I didn't, by the way.)
