    Little plastic bowl for a dollar - to use when traveling.
    Someone in China may have thought this is what a raccoon looks like.
    To me, it looks more like a badger.

    Little salsa bowls from a dollar store work well also. Some have a slightly rough interior that help build lather.

    I thought that the blue one was appropriate for my hyper-mentholated soap from Turkey:

    I don't have a clue what "No BPA" means...

    EDIT: Now I do... it stands for Bisphenol A (BPA).

    From what I remember talking to a plastics guy I knew, BPA is only going to be a problem with heat. However, to get rid of the BPA and maintain the capabilities of the plastic, they just replace it with a similar chemical that has the same issues.

    The salsa bowl is exactly what I use cheap, rough interior to help with lathering.

    I think I've seen those before near the cooking utensil area of walmart. I just might have to check those out as well.

    Are those ceramic or plastic? I went to my wal-mart and all they had were these 4 footed light weight plastic bowls. Not stable at all.
