"Thermos innovation has lead to the hottest, coolest and freshest products since 1904" - how does that make you feel? Well, my friends, it makes me feel hip. I just love tradition, I love quality and I love a name I can trust. What I especially love is something new that comes from a company that has been a hallmark of excellence for generations before me!

I quote from this trusted and innovative company; "Freshness and safety go hand in hand. If not kept at the right temperature foods and beverages can spoil, causing potentially dangerous bacteria to form.  Foogo™ products keep foods and beverages safer and healthier longer." I learned that bacteria in a child's sippy cup can double in as little as 10 minutes while at room temperature! 

A recent Cornell University study of childrens' food and beverage products reveals "In our testing of the Thermos line against the competitors in this category, our results showed that there was a very substantial growth in spoilage in the competitors products compared to Foogo by Thermos" said Randy W. Worobo, Ph.D., an associate professor of Food Microbiology in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Cornell University. He continued "The Foogo products are like keeping your child's sippy cup in a refrigerator. It's just a good, safe handling practice."

After meeting Katie at the JPMA show, the great folks at Thermos were super kind and sent us samples of the brand new Foogo line. We are now the proud owners of a stainless steel leak proof sippy cup, a food jar and a leak-proof straw bottle. Each has a polypropylene lid (BPA free) assuring me there are no toxic chemicals near the food or drink. They keep our food and drinks cold and fresh and have a great look.

In addition to being durable, they are sweat proof and do not leave a ring on the kitchen table. Now I really look forward to packing up our food to go for a summer adventure! How wonderful it is for us to associate with Thermos Foogo, the products we can trust to keep our families and our environment safe.
