Existing Fun Measuring Products

Ryan, Neha, and Wendy found scads of cool, fun products for measuring food. They range from the practical (such as the collapsible silicon measuring cups at the right) to the whimsical. (Click on the pictures to be transported to places where you can purchase the super-spiffy instruments of measure.)

With this measuring cup, you can use a "tyranosaurus's brain of flour" or other unusual measurements do put together your dinner!

There are colorful measuring cup sets shaped like mice...

...Russian nesting doll measuring cup sets...

...even measuring cups and kitchen utensils shaped like bendable people!

But as cool as these things are, you have to wonder why you never see them in people's kitchens. If someone doesn't already use measuring cups, what's the incentive to use these? They're definitely very cool, but I'm not sure they address the problem.
