    This is a "at what point does a knife become a sword" type of thing isn't it?

    It's already a modification to the word to describe something smaller (a cake baked in a cup), so going back the other way seems like a redundancy.

    Like a giant pygmy hippo.

    With your knife/sword example, maybe the best analogy is describing the shortest longsword.

    Now I want more examples of a group sized thing adapted to be personal sized then reinterpreted to be group sized again.

    I'm coming up blank, but I guess a similar concept would be post-it note easel pads.

    I think OP meant actual existing examples, not hypotheticals
