Ummm… It’s 2/3 cup, and that is a standard measurement. But maybe that wasn’t the best example. Let’s say 2/3 of 1/4 cup. Well that’s 2/12 or 1/6 cup which is far from common. However a cup is 48 tsp, so 1/6 cup is 8 tsp.
It’s like when the crazy guy says it’s easy and then pulls out a pinboard with pictures and string connecting them and proceeds to explain how it makes sense in his head and you have to admit that you sort of follow but also can’t believe what you’re hearing is reality.
Sometimes I buy liquid eggs in a carton if I need a lot of eggs for one recipe and don’t feel like cracking a dozen eggs. One large egg is about 50g, so 0.8 metric eggs is about 40g.
Reminds me of the good old days when my dad raised free range fowl: the chickens were the size of turkeys and the turkeys were too big to even fit in the oven 😂
Ah yes, I’ll have 0.8 metric eggs please.
Say you have a recipe that takes three eggs but you only have two. Do you wanna do the math on what 2/3 of one cup is actually?

I mean it’s dumb as hell but it does work.
The Metric system is easier though.

The thing that drives me bonkers is that ounces is both a volume and mass measurement, and they aren’t the same for water.

Got to get the metric chickens for those.
Kek. 1.21 kilochickens
Interestingly chicken size is based on their weight… So a size 18 chicken is a 1.8kg chook
That’s a big mother Clucker for sure 🤣

A metric egg is a little over 50 grams. You typically get a bit over 30 grams of white, 20 grams of yolk and 5-ish grams of shell.
This is a commonl found rounding error.
