This off-the-wall measuring cup by Dr. Harry White will entertain cooks no matter what age they are. Next to each measurement is a fact, some of them rather funny. For instance, my favorite is the volume of body cells that die on a good day. Another is the “amount of table salt in a large human,” which equals 150 ml. All of you salt lovers, beware! Kids can also find out how much a the brain of a Tyrannosaurus weighed.

Like the traditional measuring cups, you can measure in cups and ounces as well. Made out of heat-resistant glass, this measuring cup is safe for both the microwave and the dishwasher.
