I KNEW I WASN'T CRAZY!! If you can't tell by the sizes in the picture alone, I will tell you that I was able to pour TWO "1/4" teaspoons water into ONE teaspoon. I found a different brand of measuring spoon in my drawer that said 1/2 teaspoon and when I poured the "1/4" teaspoon in, it filled it up perfectly.
That's not all that's wrong too! My 1/8 teaspoon is wrong too, since I can fit FOUR "1/8" teaspoons into a teaspoon. And it's not like I'm making a mistake with the lower case t and the upper case T because as you can clearly see, it spells out "teaspoon" on it. I'm very disappointed because I love this set of spoons and I've been relying on it for a while now...
At least now you guys can be like, "Wow, half a teaspoon of pepper in 2 large eggs. Yeesh!" ^_^
I will not have a bento until Wednesday, as I will be attending and helping at the Pac Rim Conference on Monday and Tuesday for work.

Stumbled across your blog. I grew up in Manoa! I just bought some bento stuff to make my son's lunches. I'm a little worried about keeping the food from spoiling. Also, where do you buy your bento stuff? 99cent store doesn't have too much. Do you go to Shirokiya?
Hello hello and welcome! 99 Cent store is where I've gotten most of my boxes, but you have to be pretty lucky to make a trip when they have boxes in stock. Shirokiya only has those fancy pants boxes that cost arms and legs and they reduced their stock by a lot too. :(
Hi, again! Can the bento boxes from 99 cent store be microwaved, or am I out of luck?
Those really do look on the large side. That's what you get for measuring spices :)
Just goes to show you that you can't rely on recipes to tell you how much you should season.
Aish, that would really upset me too! WTH!
Hmm, isn't that a bummer! You'd think that since those measuring spoons have one main use (measuring), the maker would be extra careful.
I guess it's better just to figure it out now though, shake your fist at them, and move on.

Darn thats so weird about the spoons. Do you think its just your set? Or maybe teaspoons are defected everywhere! Im going to have to investigate this when I get home.
Now I'm curious about my own measuring spoons...I wonder if they are scaled properly? Hrm.
Test time, tomorrow! :P
That's terrible! Now I got to go home and check my spoons!
