Description

This product is designed to offer a simple and inexpensive way to consume food served with sauce or beverages anywhere. For example, churros and hot chocolate is a typical Spanish dish which is commonly eaten at cafés and shops that sell churros, and that can be taken home in two separate containers: a cone-shaped container (or similar) for the churros and a container for the chocolate. It is not common to consume it outside the shop or our home, since there are very few containers or recipients that allow to do it comfortably, letting one free hand to be able to consume the food.
