		<description><![CDATA[If you're a "generation X" member, you probably remember the 1970s Dannon Yogurt commercial about the people in Soviet Georgia who ate lots of yogurt and lived into their hundreds.

They were all abuzz about this new gag measuring cup that featured markings on it for things like "20,000 grains of rice" or "volume of half a human brain."  I knew I had to feature it.
