My girlfriend is part of a pretty tight-knit work team. These girls have bonded over their work and ended up becoming good friends. When someone has a birthday, they all celebrate together. Everyone brings gifts, there's cake, and all sorts of goodies. No one ever thought to bring plates because every place they chose to frequent was happy to provide forks, plates or cups. Ever eaten cake from a cup? It's kind of fun. However, they recently gathered to celebrate a Birthday at a bowling alley they'd frequented several times before. In the past, they'd provided them with cups at no charge, but this time they very rudely commented about them bringing in outside food, then charged them $25 for ten cups and a handful of plastic forks. Upon hearing about this, I decided to make sure they would always have what they needed for Birthday parties. First thing I did was buy a package of paper plates and a box of forks. Next I got a pack of disposable cake cutters, and then ordered this carry bag to tote all of it.The quality is great! Zipper is very smooth. It easily accommodates a pack of fifty paper plates, and I even managed to fit the box of forks and cake cutters in there too. Now they can celebrate Birthdays wherever they want and will be adequately equipped without being overcharged for celebratory supplies.
