Cute graphics and lids, but Gerber's claims of being "spill-resistant" are ludicrous. The spout is a slit cut in hard plastic and leaks like crazy when tipped over, which is quite likely given the cups narrow base and wide top. If that wasn't enough, the lid's shallow threading makes the lid's molded ears the perfect lever for easily popping off the cup lid. It's also hard to sympathize with a company's production of a "tossable" cup involving this much plastic, all of it non-recyclable in most areas. See video for a tragic demonstration.
