liquid "more dense" than solid?
re: the last line of this article, unless i'm reading it wrong, was it supposed to say liquids are more voluminous than solids rather than more dense.--81.96.65.223 01:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * That last line was nonsense. Density is not the issue. I have rewritten to clarify. --Macrakis 14:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

But what's the weight?
A list of weight equivalents for common vittles (sugar, butter, shortening, flower, etc.) would be much appreciated. Maikel 20:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

How about including the abbreviation for cup? Betty Crocker doesn't have one. Is there one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.11.52.240 (talk) 18:04, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

If "cup" IS abbreviated it's shown as "c.". though why you feel a need to abbreviate a three letter word is beyond me. 99.231.156.242 04:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

What is the manufactured capacity of a cup?
On cups for the American market that show ounces, is the ounce fill based on the NIST definition of 29.5735 mL or the FDA definition of 30 mL? Meaning is a "cup" (= 8 ounces) 236.XXXXX mL or 240 mL? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.105.199.216 (talk) 13:32, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Seven measuring cups per litre
In the graphic depicting measuring cups that fit inside larger measures iz a very prolific and pronounced error. I hav a set like that. I can fit seven measuring cups in a one litre pop bottle. That's a 147 mL / cup. I know the pop bottle iz correct, because I measured a milk carton, and it's 10 cm square, so I cut it off at 10 cm, making it a reasonably accurate litre. So, what are these? Defects? Canadian measuring cups? 75.152.113.13 (talk) 16:14, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
