POURTIONS was created to help you take back the power and counter this unhealthy trend. Using eye-catching graphics, our approach is all about mindful intake‚Äî delivered in a funny, engaging, un-sciency way. Our unique graphics offer a variety of nearly perfect pour lines, depending on the use, while the tabletop designs feature visual cues as well. Our idea isn't to hit people over the head with a "message" or offer perfect serving sizes, but rather deliver a gentle nudge that helps reinforce mindful consumption. Plus, they're really funny (because no one like a nag :)

Our Story
I was walking down the street in NYC past a coffee cart and stopped in my tracks at the size of a corn muffin: it was HUGE! This was just about the time when obesity was in the news everyday and I'd been reading all about portion control. No wonder… I was walking down the street in NYC past a coffee cart and stopped in my tracks at the size of a corn muffin: it was HUGE! This was just about the time when obesity was in the news everyday and I'd been reading all about portion control. No wonder everyone was overweight! The portions that we are getting served are 4x the size than they were 40, 50 years ago. So I started researching: dinner plates in the 50's were 9"; today they are 12". A cocktail glass was 4ozs; today they are10ozs. Same with wine glasses. Portion control dinner and drinkware in the market are child-like and utilitarian, using geometric shapes & crude images of meat, veggies & grains. You want something you can use everyday, that is stylish enough to use for guests. THAT is where Pourtions comes in.
