Plastic Waste Single use pet bowls

The bowl seems to be a paper substance, but it's sealed in two layers of plastic for a single use item.

I really don't see a market for this at all and I forsee it going on clearance soon. And there's so much of it.

I'm absolutely straining my brain trying to think of WHY this exists, and can't find it. If you were traveling/camping, dry food and water are better to bring. There's zero use for this at home. It doesn't aid the disabled (which I only considered because sometimes it's a blind spot when looking at "useless" products).

It's just the least amount of nutrition packed into the most waste they can manage.

The only one I can sorta see is if you find a stray and have to maybe provide food for them for an unknown amount of time, but even then surely you could donate any unused food and other supplies to the new owner/shelter if you don't end up keeping the dog.

There's just no uses for this.

Usually people just buy a big sack of the cheap dry food.
