It's a conspiracy - check your measuring devices

This is where is 1TBS not necessarily 1TBS. Don't know how long I use these improperly.

Oh dear. It looks like the three smaller ones are 1 tsp, 1/2 tsp and 1/4 tsp maybe?

 

[mikehaugen]

Hahaha

I agree, the larger is probably supposed to a "tablespoon" and the others "teaspoons." Let me guess where they are made...

Yep a tablespoon is almost 15ml. and a teaspoon is almost 5ml. so that it what they were trying to get to.. Our imperial system of measurement is stupid to begin with.. why in "heck" didn't we convert to metric back in the 70's when all the noise was made about doing it. In all of our science classes, everything was always measured in the metric system. And then you go home, and deal with "tablespoons, and teaspoons".. who in "heck" came up with that? It would have been a lot easier back then.. just stupid...

I'm having a hard time envisioning Paula Dean talking about ml &mm...etc.... Something un Southern and Un American about that...

Yeah I know guys, but our system is really difficult to make conversions. I mean c'mon 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon? 2 cups to a pint? 2 pints to a quart.? so 4 quarts to a gallon.. how many teaspoons in a gallon? Then we also measure in ounces.. too? what ever in the "heck" for? We cannot even agree on a standard within our own standard? and how many pecks are in a bushel anyway? It is just insane....
