I've got another target market for these products. Old farts. This isn't
funny, and I don't enjoy the implications, but I watched my 80 year Dad
serving soup to the family last weekend, and he spilled more than a
couple of tablespoons out of each bowl because he couldn't keep them
level. They weren't full to start.

I guess it's just the normal life cycle.

Cheers
George
