We had a discussion about these Mesu bowls in the virtual watercooler of the TPWireService today. Cathy invoked Seth Godin’s Purple Cow theory – not trying for mass appeal – simply create a great product for one person, do it well, and watch it take off. More than one person will want it. People will find their own uses. Which brings me to my reaction to the Mesu bowls. I have a two year old and in a previous life was trained as a Montessori teacher. My instant affection for these bowls had nothing to do with my own consumption – it was their appeal as a teaching tool. It looks to me like they’ll be a great way to teach fractions to a pre-schooler.
