liquid "more dense" than solid?

edit

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)Reply

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

But what's the weight?

edit

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

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)Reply

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)Reply

What is the manufactured capacity of a cup?

edit

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)Reply

Seven measuring cups per litre

edit

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)Reply
