During the previous round of shirkflation I warned people about knowing what year a recipe was from because "a can" means something different in 2004 than in 2010. And now it means something different again in 2025.

Now boxes are getting the shrink treatment too.

The heating time time on some frozen chicken strips was for "a cup". Of long frozen pieces of chicken.

    My favourite is "one cup of spinach".

    Is a cup not equivalent to 250ml?

  • It's close, it's like 236.6mL. A cup is 1/4 of a quart, a quart is a smidge less than a liter. If you're converting to metric, 1 tsp comes out to ~5mL, 1 Tbsp is ~15mL, 1 fl. oz. is ~30mL, and 1 cup is ~250mL. The proportions will come out about right, you'll just bake a little bit more.
