The Age-Old Debate Over The Metric System
Americans use the imperial system because they love to be different. You see, other countries around the world use the metric system, which is based on the number 10 and is easy to use. But not America. Oh no, they had to go and create their own system of measurement, with confusing units like inches, feet, and miles. There are also those pesky cups.
While the first commenter came on a little strong with their anti-cup agenda, the second seems to have forgotten that metric measurements are often labeled on American measuring cups. At the end of the day, it’s all about preference, and some bakers prefer to weigh their ingredients because they say it yields more consistent results. Who cares, as long as it’s delicious?
