    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.

    The smallest messer before it becomes a regular knife

    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

    At that point, isn’t it just a cake wrapped in paper? I don’t think anyone would look at a salad bowl and think, “that is a cup.”

    Thats past the cup size. It's just a cake

    At this point thats just a cake. But, if you call it a colossal cupcake you can then charge 10 times the amount.

    100% that kid won't even finish the layer of oreos (?) on the top. What a fucking disgusting use of what I'm going to apprehensively title 'food'.

    but, cake is meant to be shared,

    who cares if a cake has 10000 calories.

    that's like saying supermarket has millions of calories in their shelves so they are unhealthy

    Capitalists now: "Here is your 26 megajoule cupcake!"

    Capitalists a year later: "Here is your insulin subscription, only $299/month!"

    Was there any damage to the supermarkets? It's a pretty big cupcake, i guess, just doesn't seem like that bag a deal?
