ReditainerPlastic Disposable Portion Cups, 5.5-Ounce

There are a LOT of good sized cups with lids in this pack. I'm using these for acrylic paints in my art studio and they are working out really well. They are sturdy enough that I get multiple uses out of each cup, so they'll last me a really long time.

l wanted some of these little containers for school lunches and for other small items. I looked at many of the reviews, but it was still a little difficult for me to tell the actual size. They sell them by ounce measurements, but I am not good at visualizing what size these would be. I wanted the ones that were about the size of the cups jello comes in from the store. I took an educated guess and choose the 5.5 ounce ones. They were right on!I attached a photo so you could see the size compared to a commercial jello cup. (sorry about the weird ruler! ha ha!) I made a box of sugar free jello and it filled 4 of them perfectly. So 1/2 cup each. They also are a good size to hold other food items...a hard boiled egg fits in there nicely too, so you can sorta figure that things like carrots or goldfish crackers would hold about a serving. I have not microwaved mine, I do not think they are made for that purpose. So heating up your nacho cheese or peas might not be a good idea. I do pour the jello right in them after mixing, so they can handle some heat. I just put the lids on them then too, so no spilling on the way to the fridge and they are stackable this way.I actually wash and reuse mine as many times as I can (before they accidentally get lost or broken by carrying them home empty.) My son was bending the lids off his which made them not fit as well the second time, so I had to show him how to lift it if different places so it doesn't fold. I don't plan on re-using them forever, but it just seemed wasteful to toss them everyday if I didn't have to (which was one of the reasons I bought them in the first place!) Still, if I fill them with paint or something really gross or sloppy, I don't need to try to wash them. I have even took a couple to put in my desk drawer to hold paperclips and coins.I haven't had any lids not fit...I don't try to carry thin liquids in them, though. They are like fast food lids...will resist sloshing, but aren't really meant to transport upside down thin liquids.

Use these for my acrylic paints they keep them safe and nice to have lids to use over and over

I LOVE these, especially that they come with lids, which work MUCH better than saran wrap. Just be careful putting them on, obviously, so it doesn't smoosh and go everywhere.We love Jell-O by itself, or to recreate the wonderful "1, 2, 3 Jell-O" that was discontinued in the 1980s. All you need is Jell-O https://www.amazon.com/Jell-O-Berry-Blue-Gelatin-Ounce/dp/B00I8GFC10/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1501281876&sr=1-2&keywords=Jello , Cool Whip and water.1.) Make one 6 oz. Box (or two 3 oz. boxes) of Jell-O according to box directions. Separate into 19 of these individual cups, put on lid, refrigerate until set.2.) Take one 6 oz. Box (or two 3 oz. Boxes) of the same flavour as in step one. Whisk in three cups boiling water until dissolved. Whisk in one tub (16 oz.) Cool Whip. Pour over each Jell-O cup. Recap and return to fridge until set.3.) Top with Cool Whip when ready to serve.Optional: Minced fruit that matches Jell-O flavour on top.(This recipe, BTW, is perfect for a kids' party.

With school coming, I am looking for more affordable ways to have lunch for my 3 kids that are in school. That includes making my own "snack packs" These cups worked perfect for the pudding, jello, and yogurt cups, and you're getting the same amount as the store bought at a cheaper price!!Couple things: when taking out the lids, 9 times out of 10 TWO WILL BE STUCK TOGETHER! Just a heads up, you will need to seperate them. The cups themselves feel very duarble, i have even had the kids save them (if they remember) so i can wash them and reuse at least one more time! We have had a few times where lids have come off in the lunch box, there could have been many different factors causing that - kids being rough with their lunch box (which were only the cheap character lunch boxes that are more for looks than anything)
