An Updated Marie Antoinette - Claudia Schiffer's Breast-Shaped Bowl

If you've ever tried to toast with one of those wide-mouthed coupe-style Champagne glasses, you know how woefully inefficient they are for actually drinking bubbly. Legend has it that that particular shape of glass was modeled after Marie Antoinette's breasts, and now Karl Lagerfeld has designed an updated version for Dom Perignon based on Claudia Schiffer's decolletage.

Why is this ironic? First, the shape is terrible for Champagne because, as already mentioned, it's too wide and sloshy, and the Champagne goes flat fast because the surface area is so big. That's why those tall, thin glasses work better--they keep the bubbles in the wine. Second, Dom Perignon? The Champagne brand named after a monk? Releasing breast-shaped paraphernalia?

A beer that boasts unusual benefits

Now that Bulgaria has joined the European Union, some of the previously high taxes on Bulgarian goods have been eliminated. Bulgaria is known for having good wine, but it is beer that has people from other EU countries flocking to the stores to buy it now that some of the taxes have been lifted. Boza beer apparently claims to help women's breasts grow larger.

Upon hearing of its claims, your first thought might be why taxes would matter, since there are surely people who would pay anything for a product - let alone a beer - that could do that. The following thought, of course, would be about how accurate this claim is.

Boza is made from fermented wheat and/or millet and has a low alcohol content. The original recipe has been around for thousands of years and dates back to Pre-Ottoman Turkey. It has always been considered to be a very healthy drink, a "warming and strengthening beverage" with approximately 1,000 calories per liter. For comparison, milk has about 630 calories per liter.

It is unlikely that Boza actually does increase the size of women's breasts, although with the high number of calories it contains, it is certainly possible that it could cause weight gain in general if enough is consumed.
