Nice n Robust
Material Type: Plastic
I’ve been buying these spoons for at least 5 years. They were the best before, and they are the BEST now. Other companies on Amazon sell similar spoons for a much cheaper price. They assert that their spoons are “heavyweight” spoons. Whoever, when you try to use their spoons to get yogurt out from the container, they fold like paper. These companies should be banned from Amazon.

Dogs favorite toy
Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack), Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack)
I buy 4 of these every month for my dog. He won’t go anywhere without this ball. He sleeps with it, swims with it, goes to the vet and carries it around in his mouth to show off. It’s borderline a problem. My dog is a large breed and plays hard so I do purchase often because the strings unravel and the ball itself is foam so breaks down into little pieces after a few days of playing. I love that it is fragile on his teeth and jaw. We can play catch indoors because it is soft.

Worth the purchase
Color: Orange & Blue Fumbler, Size: 3 x 8.5 x 9 inches (1 Pack)
Perfect for indoor use. My aggressive chewer loves this and has not destroyed it yet after 6 months. I recommend for indoor use as it causes NO damage or noise.
