When a card is not enough

A Japanese company is selling "Rice Babies" as birth announcements. Sold as gifts, a bag of rice that weighs the exact same amount as the newborn is imprinted with the baby's face and vital statistics.

Makes me wonder how many parents are going to understate the actual weight of the baby so their friends are not horrified at receiving a 15 pound bag of rice as a birth announcement.
