Okay, let’s get a little silly. Imagine you’re making a recipe that calls for 1 ¼ cups of chocolate chips. That’s about 37 individual morsels of joy (give or take—I counted once, but I was eating them as I counted).
Or 1 ¼ cups of shredded cheese in a mac and cheese recipe. That’s the difference between “meh” and “I’m never eating boxed again.” You’re welcome.
Heck, even 1 ¼ cups of popcorn kernels will give you a mountain of movie-night bliss. Just melt some butter, and you’re a cinema god.
