Making Trader Joe’s lemonade, from a frozen can tube.
instructions: “Empty contents of can into half gallon container. Add 4 1/3 cans of cold water. stir vigorously.”
WHAT? 4 and A THIRD??? This is AMERICA, buddy, we don’t DO fractions here. Maybe, MAYBE a HALF, but a THIRD???? How do you expect me to just EYEBALL that? IMPOSSIBLE! If my lemonade turns out funky I will SUE! SUE, I SAY!!! How DARE they…uhh…
errr…which can of water was I on? Dammit.
Uh… is the can eight ounces? A third of that is about 2.66 ounces…
Do you have a letter scale? Just add water until it comes out to 2.66, or so. Just remember to subtract the weight of the can…
So I guess you don’t do well with those 12oz pasta boxes either…
Trader Joe’s lemonade sounds awfully high maintenance.
Most measuring cups have markings in thirds of a cup.
Everyone one I’ve seen has ‘em.
Best of luck.
NOT a third of a cup. a third of A CAN!
and it’s all good. the lemonade was fine. and already gone. Mmmmm…
Uh… I just realized. A cup is eight ounces. So, four cans and a third of eight ounces is two pints. As such, you needed 1025 millilters of water.
I keep a solar powered calculator in my kitchen just for this reason.
… Two pints and 2.66 ounces is 1025 ML, I mean…
