We also attached Heavy Weight Black Plastic Forks that are sturdy enough to pierce grapes and cheese cubes without the utensil breaking. Have you ever experienced the uncomfortable feeling and the inconvenience of using a thin plastic fork that breaks? Well, we have and we’d like to avoid that from ever happening again.Easy Fruit Snack Detail
When entertaining you can never have enough napkins. So we inserted crisp White Beverage Napkins into the straw slots located on the top of the lids. A minor detail that helps maintain cleanliness and is visually appealing.
