MeasurePlate

On a table there is a bowl of fruit and a plant… but in the centre of the table is plate with lines running around it with measurements on it. In the middle of the plate are some cut up strawberries and a folded pancake.

Now that I had accidentally sold my mine to George, I had nothing.

Well…

Apart from my house.

And all my inventions.

And several vehicles.

But emotionally, I had nothing.

I returned home and immediately realised what I needed to do.

Well, it was obvious.

You really need me to say it?

Fine.

I needed to make dinner.

Because it was dinner time.

I decided, however, that from now on I would need to be much more careful with money if I was going to buy my mine back from George. That meant making a smaller portion than usual. Now, making smaller portions must be difficult for ordinary people. But not for me. Because I have MeasurePlate.

MeasurePlate is a plate with innovative lines on the plate representing different sizes. The sizes are displayed in centimetres, but I also included some random numbers with quote marks next to them like you sometimes see on measuring things. Don’t worry about them, nobody understands or uses them.

MeasurePlate is a revelation, and allows you to make some very big plates, contain some very small portions.

I quickly ate my dinner, of Beluga Caviar on a bed of gold leaf. I have to say having a smaller portion than usual will have saved me some money… …but not mine-buying-back money. For that I’ll really need to get my thinking cap on.

But if you want to measure things on a plate… you know what to do… get a MeasurePlate today!

Note to self: Maybe I really should invent a thinking cap?
