A (1) teaspoon might be used as a measurement. 1/32 of a Teaspoon is asinine.
Admittedly, yeah. Technically in the USโs stupid system that should be โa half pinch.โ
A pinch being 1/16 teaspoon.
Lol, of course they have a name for it
I just thought it meant "a bit", and it basically does because noone can really measure a 16th of a teaspoon
I knew dash and pinch, I didnโt know tad, smidgen, or drop. Fascinating.
That's not a teaspoon. I didn't say you couldn_t measure arbritrary amounts of stuff, just eyeballing a 16th of a teaspoon is not something you can do accurately
what the fuck are you talking about? They didn't make teaspoons for measurement purposes... It's right there in the name.
