Face Plates = plates with faces on them.

I’m regularly accused of being childish. We’re talking on a daily basis. And it isn’t necessarily because I spend a disproportionate amount of time immersed in fictional universes, or because I laugh out of context. It’s because of shit like this.

Invented to tailor for “creative children” (or Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters), Food Face Dinner Plates are reportedly “high-quality, food-safe, high-fire ceramics”. All good stuff, especially as I have a tendency to burst into flames whilst thumbing peas into the shape of an old-timey moustache.

They’re reasonably priced, too. But upon reflection, I’m not sure if I’m making fun of these plates, or trying to sell them. People need plates, right? I guess if I had to, I’d pitch these bad boys as “Guess Who, with substantially more potatoes”.

    But… if I get them I’ll be forced to only eat tiny morsels of food. Or else make faces that are bloated beyond recognition, covered with hives and bleeding tomato sauce.

    At least kids can now learn about the terrible symptoms of leprosy! Am I right? Guys? *sigh*

    I don’t know about you but I usually require something a little heartier than a handful of peas, a bean and gravy to satisfy my hunger. Not only that, I find eating off of something that looks like Peter Garrett a little disconcerting.
