We love TikTok for learning catchy dances and viral crazes, but it's also one of our favorite places to find the latest, greatest home goods, gadgets and — you guessed it — holiday gifts. Our most recent find from the platform may be the coolest (and most unexpected) product yet. User @thedariuscovington uploaded a video of his Crunchcup Portable Cereal Cup, calling it "probably the most useful gift" they've ever gotten. It has racked up 5 million likes and over 24,000 comments from viewers who were amazed by the handy gadget, which is available on Amazon with certain colors starting at just $25 right now.
The Crunchcup is perfect for cereal lovers who are always running late in the mornings because now they can take their breakfast on the go. The gadget is an oversize to-go cup that has an inner chamber for milk and an outer chamber for cereal. When you tip up the cup, you can essentially "drink" your meal — the cereal and the milk pour directly into your mouth at the same time. No spoon required.
The handheld device is an ideal size for commuters who take the train or subway to the office or school, and it fits perfectly in a car's cup holder for those who drive to work or class. Each Crunchcup can hold a cup of cereal and five ounces of milk at a time, so it's great for a quick snack or breakfast. Even better, it’s made from a super durable BPA-free plastic that won’t crack if you drop it, and it’s dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
With smart details like that, it makes sense that more than 5,000 shoppers have given it a perfect five-star rating with one writing, “What a genius idea, and perfect for a busy teacher like me. All my high schoolers ask about it and I'm sure they have gotten their own at this point!”
Parents say it’s great for slower eaters too as it prevents the cereal from getting soggy in the milk. “Easy for on-the-go or getting that picky kid that doesn't like cereal once it goes soggy to eat breakfast! It's a winner in our house,” raved one.
Other customers say it makes a great holiday gift, white elephant present or stocking stuffer. “It is, as I said, perfect. This is genuinely one of the best gifts I have ever received, possibly even the best…I cannot think of a better product. It is durable, fits every cereal I can think of and is a great way to eat on the go or while working.”
There are seven colors to choose from and right now the pink, green, white and yellow shades are on sale for just $25. And i you prefer black, blue or purple, you can snag those for $30.
If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
