Do you remember ZooPals? I have. Let's take a nostalgia trip and find out what ZooPals are!
ZooPals is a tableware brand made by Hefty. The main part of the brand are ZooPals Plates, which are animal-shaped-plates. Kids are encouraged to eat their food to reveal the animal's face. ZooPals were first developed in 2001 by inventors David C. Schiltz, Christina M. Tranfaglia, Jeffrey L. Roberts, Edward J. Seeberger, and Brad W. Dickason, before appearing on retail shelves in January 2002, with full national distribution beginning in spring 2002. The brand was discontinued sometime in August 2014 but was revived on August 17, 2023 with the Plates first being brought back.
