To experience the nostalgia and fun eating style of Zoo Pals™ plates, I headed to Lavan Chelsea New York for the official re-launch party...just for adults.

Note: I was invited as media to the event. However, any views expressed are always 100% my own.


The event was filled with fun activities including decorating your own Zoo Pals™ plates, an immersive room covered in tweets from #ZooPals fans, and a dining experience by Chef Jeremy Scheck of childhood meals (elevated!).


I have to admit, eating "sushi" from animal shape plates was fun. And easy cleanup since sauce and other condiments were "contained" in the ears.

The plates are also

• Soak-resistant
• Microwave safe for reheating foods
• Made with sustainably sourced paper

With all of these features, of course Zoo Pals™ plates are popular with families and adults. So much so that the Hefty® brand brought the products back after receiving numerous requests and feedback from customers.

Re-Launched Zoo Pals™ plates

Zoo Pals™ plates are a colorful line of paper plates featuring original animal “Pals” like Curly the Pig, Domino the Dalmatian, and more. Better yet — 10 of the original “Pals” will be coming back!

Each plate offers three perfectly portioned sections for your favorite foods, snacks and dips, with one large space for the main item and two ears or feet for dipping sauces and sides

While Zoo Pals™ plates Make Eating Fun!™, they also take some of the strain off parents who might have picky eaters, particularly when it comes to new foods.

Keeping children interested and focused on wanting to eat can be hard but Zoo Pals™ plates makes eating an interactive, playful experience.

Zoo Pals™ plates are available at online retailers.
