Keeps food cold for about 5-6 hours. Perfect set for travel.
I'm a germaphobe and can't stand carrying cutlery around in my bag for my insulated cups, because I always worry that it's gotten dirty in my bag or something. Anyway, this set negates that worry completely. The spoon stays inside the entire time. When I need to take a break to have my snack, I don't worry about dirtying up the spoon by grabbing the wrong end from a bag or case, because only the handle is exposed. Unscrewing the lid and pushing the end of the spoon drops it into the cup, and then I can eat with it without worrying about contaminating my food.
Just to clarify, I'm also on a medically restricted diet. The list of safe foods for me is much shorter than the list of unsafe foods. I have to be very careful to avoid cross contamination or I'll get sick for days, or have a concerning reaction that could lead me to the hospital. I travel once a month for a weekend for work, and I have to take my own safe foods with me, and carry them into work as well. I try to only carry one bag, as I otherwise have too much luggage or forget one of the bags or just don't have space while moving around at work as it's a very active job in a limited space.
So, having this insulated cup designed to keep any allergens on my hands from touching door handles in public places, or stair railings from transferring to my food is really an anxiety reducer for me.
The size is small. I usually have protein drinks or ensure as my main calorie sources while at work while traveling, but this lets me pack up some yogurt or mashed potatoes or soup, and enough to have a pretty solid snack between 'meals. It did keep my yogurt cold for about five hours, two days in a row. Super easy to clean.
The spoon's bowl shape is odd. I guess it'll hold liquids just fine, but I had to flip it over on my tongue to get all my yogurt out. I was glad to be in the car eating, as I was lapping at it like a dog trying to get that last bit of treat from the corner of a bowl or plate, lol. The spoon is very thick plastic, easy to hold, easily an adult length and size.
I got the blue and white polka dot initially, and I just ordered the yellow strips. Really excited for a 2nd one, because that'll give me the chance for 2 solid snacks during my workday until I can get back to the hotel to wash these up.
The price is fine for the quality. The cup is thick and heavy and very smooth. The lid is one piece. No inside piece to also unscrew, no seals to pull off and clean under. Just smooth, thick plastic. The internal spoon idea is perfectly executed and inspired. Perfect for travel or picnics or work or whatever. I'll probably get a third, as a backup, lol. I really do love these for my dietary and travel needs.
