I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

    A cup is 8 ounces, 237ml.

    It depends. It’s usually standardised by country; 200ml, 240ml and 250ml are common values.

    OP is likely from a Commonwealth country while you’re probably from USA. If that’s correct: note that your country has two measurements for cups, 237ml and 240ml.
