While I was at Walgreen's yesterday I decided to pick up a couple sippy cups for my youngest son. They didn't have many cups available, including the Playtex ones I use the most.

I picked up a 2-pack of Sesame Street insulated sippy cups for $7, which is a great price. There were a couple designs to choose from. The ones I picked up were blue and red with a picture of baby Cookie Monster and baby Elmo. They are cute cups. Each cup holds around 9 oz of beverage. The cups have a double-wall to keep drinks colder, longer. And yes, these cups are BPA free.

After I washed the cups out I decided to test them out. My son can be picky when it comes to his cups but initially he seemed to like this one. That is until he started crying, I didn't know what was wrong. I checked him and the cup out and everything seemed to be fine. Well, I gave it back to him, same thing. I finally decided to try the cup for myself. To my surprise nothing was even coming out. I checked the valve and wiggled it around thinking that might help, nope. So I thought well maybe it's just a bad cup. I had bought two so I still had one more. Tried out that cup and the exact same thing happened. When I tried extra hard to get something out of the cup I could but for a toddler this is impossible.

The Sesame Street insulated cups are horrible. But look at the bright side, they won't leak! If you're thinking about getting these don't and you already have bought them don't open them. Just bring them back to the store and get a refund. I wouldn't pay one red cent for these!

Yeah I could do that but it sort of defeats the purpose of having a sippy cup. My son is messy, the messiest kid I've ever met, destructive too. If I took out the valve the floors and ceiling would be covered with juice!

I have had that problem with a different cup. Finally, I just threw away the rubber valve so that the cup was at least usable, but not spill-proof anymore.
