Matrioshka-like nesting bowls (matrioshka-like nesting bowels sold separately)

These colorful matrioshka-like nesting bowls capture my home maker fancy. At $59, they seem overpriced — surely IKEA must sell something like this at half the price— but the chromatic nesting and stacking of four measuring cups, two bowls, a colander and sieve inside each other somehow triggers in me the self-satisfaction of a preschooler solving a simple geometric block puzzle.

This looks suspiciously pornographic.

I'd say it looks more like an isosurface plot--perhaps some solution to the Schrödinger equation in a world where electrons have, you know, a really long arm on one side.
