My kids also love them for their ice cream bowls when sitting in front of the tv. I have also seen the campbell ones in the dollar store and reading the labels very carefully - I would not buy them.
I have made many of these for my regular bowls and use them for both hot and cold. I have never been tempted to put the holder (I call them huggies) in the microwave, and do not understand why you would need to. I carefully put the hot bowl in the huggy and off I go. Yes, I can see that thread would probably be my downfall.
