To add insult to injury, a US cup is 236.6 millilitres, while a UK (imperial) cup is 170.48 millilitres. Not even close. There’s a whole lot of other measurements called “cup” too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

Nobody has ever read cooking instruction and thought “they mean for me to measure this with a mug from my cabinet” lol

No, but they’ve probably thought “what fucking size cup do these twats mean and why can’t they just put an actual measurement”.

I’ll take your word for it. All of my measuring tools have cups on one side and mL on the other. Git gud scrub
