Okay, let’s get right into it: the 180 Degrees ME0036 Reusable Dinner Plates with Ant Design are… something. Do they look like paper plates? Yes. Are they made of melamine? Absolutely. Are they also the most bizarre yet oddly endearing dinner plates you’ll ever own? Without a doubt.First off, the ant design. It’s like someone thought, “What if we took something as mundane as a dinner plate and added just enough whimsy to make you second-guess all your life choices?” The ants are there. They're everywhere. They’re marching along the edge of the plate like they’re plotting world domination, one crumb at a time. It’s as if the ants are trying to let you know that, yes, your meal is delicious, but also: Hey, we’re watching you. No need to panic, though—these ants aren’t real. They’re just here for the vibe.Now, let's talk about the functionality. These plates are technically reusable, but let’s be honest: they look like paper plates. Like, if you set them on your table at a fancy dinner party, your guests might question if they’re about to eat on something disposable, but you’ll assure them that, no, they’re actually melamine, which, according to Google, is plastic’s fancy cousin. It’s a fun party trick until someone asks you to explain why ants are involved.Are they worth the money? Well, that depends on how much you value washing plates that look like paper plates after you eat. If you enjoy the thrill of pretending you’re saving the planet while washing off your spaghetti sauce from a dish that looks like it belongs in the trash, then these are your dream plates. If you’re someone who enjoys using plates that look a little more upscale, you may want to stick with your standard porcelain.But hey, the price isn’t too bad, and let’s face it: the ant design is hysterical. It’s like owning a little piece of humor at every meal. Want to impress your guests with the most interesting dinnerware they’ve ever seen? These plates will do the job. You might not be serving five-star meals on them, but you’ll certainly be serving conversation starters.In conclusion, if you’re looking for a dinner plate that’s functional, eco-friendly-ish, and guaranteed to make you chuckle every time you look at it—get these plates. Will you laugh every time you set them on the table? Yes. Will you wonder if ants are secretly judging you while you eat? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, you’ll have plates that make dinner just a little more entertaining—and isn’t that what life’s all about?

Nice plates for our RV

Cleans easily. We use at our camper & always get compliments on them & the ant design. Not microwave safe but not an issue with us

I enjoy my dinner plates, I use it for picnics. Everybody talks about the ants. I purchase a complete set.

They are so cute and quite the conversation at a BBQ. Couple people had to take a double look. Those ants look REAL on the plate.

These are perfect for a garden party. Heavy duty and sturdy.

These are adorable and seem like very nice quality. I am going to try to tease some people with these by putting them in a stack of plain old white 9" paper plates. These would be great on picnics and for some types of vacation homes. I cannot wait to use them and to see what people say. I may even order some of the other dishes that match although I really would like some of the bee bowls too!

Recieved what I expected, sturdy, durable and appear just like paper plates. Shipped quickly and arrived ahead of proposed date.
