Ok ok... LUV these plates. First off, they're super cool plates in many ways. Tho, QUICK WARNING: Don't set it on your lap at ALL even for a second! The tip (which ever way that ISN'T horizontal in conjunction with your legs) will slip right between your legs sending everything sliding into the floor and fluffy McNutterbutter will be super happy with his steak dinner =D LOL! The 3 sides are different lengths. If you're a STAR TREK fan, this looks EXACTLY like the "meaper" they use (communicator badge, technically speaking - -,) And TRUE THAT! Your stomach holds the amount of both your hands in fists. You shouldn't eat more than the size of both hands at once. These plates are also VERY high quality. No bubbles or scratches anywhere on mine. Dish washes faster and better than circular plates (to me) due to shape. Also microwave-able, so, HOT DOG! =D Works for me lol! =]
