buddha bowl, or i meant to tell you (#2)

I meant to tell you (#2) about this giant mug that looked really perfect for a big bowl of tea, or a small cup of soup. It is called the Buddha Bowl, by Flavour Designs. I saw it on Delight.com last week.

Did you notice how many products on Delight.com are also endorsed by Oprah? Like this one. And this too. What is the connection I wonder. Advertorial? Paid placement?

I have another question. What is Buddha-like about this bowl? Why not just call it Ample Soup Mug with Handle. Or something.
