Measuring Cup with Markings that make no sense.
Ozzie_Isaac
Posts: 21,627
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)
I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

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.

Keep in mind, dry and fluid ounces are not the same….

Well, if the 8 TBS and 4 oz lines are the same, this thing ain’t measuring weight.ColbyLang said:Keep in mind, dry and fluid ounces are not the same…."I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

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

Exactly. So unless this thing came with instructions about the various measurements only being suitable to specific things, it ain’t measuring weight.ColbyLang said:8 tablespoons of salt may be in fact 4oz….given iodized table salt. 8 tablespoons of sugar doesn’t weigh the same"I've made a note never to piss you two off." - Stike

You owe John a dollar. I put that random paper inside so I could see the markings better in photos. This came with no instructions.ColbyLang said:

To be fair, it’s the thought that counts.

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.

Any ideas for what we should have for the challenge?
