I can't believe reviewers are saying these are perfect for " individual " portions of soup and/or salad...they are  NOT !  They are  too big !  In fact, they are so heavy I can hardly lift one  !  Do not get these if you are an older person with arthritis in your hands, you will not be able to handle these.  All I can use them for is a snack bowl while watching TV,  for chips, pretzels, etc.
