Measuring Cup with Markings that make no sense.

Okay, not a baker by any stretch, and a baker gave this to me. The measurements kind of make sense, but the ounces definitely throw me and they make me question every other measurement. The “4oz” mark isn’t even close. 1, 6, 8, 10, and 12 are correct. Tablespoons are not even in the ballpark. (4, 5, and 6 are close, but 1 and 2 are a mile off)

This is great.
8 Tablespoons is indeed 4 ounces, but somehow things aren’t proportional below that. For example, look at the corresponding 4 and 2 marks.
You sure a “baker” gave you this, as opposed to someone who “was baked” ?"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
Keep in mind, dry and fluid ounces are not the same….

8 tablespoons of salt may be in fact 4oz….given iodized table salt. 8 tablespoons of sugar doesn’t weigh the same

To be fair, it’s the thought that counts.
I will also accept payment in the form of bread or bourbon the next time I’m in your neck of the woods, @ColbyLang"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike -
Great fun scrolling thru this. Where's @Ozzie_Isaac, the OP in this payoff? Nouns/numbers and an agreed definition...Could solve a lot of SWMBO interactions at least for me.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
