Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.

Almost enough for a regular Midwestern salad.

64 fluid ounces = 128 servings of 1 Tablespoon = 11,520 total calories, if you use a child-cheater to scrape out every drop.

Oh sorry, family word maybe? A child cheater is a flexible spatula (rubber or silicone) rounded on one side, that scrapes all the yummy cake batter out of the bowl and into the baking pan, leaving not enough to lick.

Definitely a local thing, I've never heard of it, and I'm a born and raised bowl licker.

That makes sense!

Kinda dumb that these two are called the same thing. They're for very different use cases.

The "child cheater" is sometimes referred to as a rubber spatula to differentiate it.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Agreed, although I prefer silicone rather than rubber these days, it holds up better with heat.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, silicone spatulas are also a thing.
