It's even worse for food. I have a recipe for key lime pie that called for "1 14oz can" of condensed milk. Go to the grocery store? The cans are 10.5oz. So now my choices are underfilling my pies, making a smaller pie (and experimenting with crust sizes to find out what fits,) buying two cans and being saddled with condensed milk I'm not going to use, or buying FOUR cans and making three pies... or of course not making that particular pie at all, but sometimes you just want a good key lime pie.
