You Got Served

Pop Ink Dishes

You can dish it out, no problem. It’s the taking-it part that needs work.

Pop Ink dishes can help. The colorful, cute-as-punch plates can handle whatever you want to lay out on the table — and hit you back with style and wit you’ll gladly accept.

Made out of melamine, the heavy-duty, dishwasher-safe platters feature big, bright graphics that come with a pinch of kitsch (Tweat-y birds, Naked Lunch pinups, and Fawn-Due deer).

Load angel hair pasta on the Doo the Dishes collection, featuring well-coiffed silhouettes and pastel toile backgrounds. Use the faux wood printed Smorgas-Board plates to display a cheese spread. Learn which part of the animal your filet, shank, or loin comes from with the Food for Thought designs, with meat maps for mutt, steak, swine, and lamb.

And when a guest gripes that your chicken is too dry, hand them dessert on the Love-Sick plate with an arrow shot through a bleeding heart.

Serves them right.
