There was once a time where standard was a thing. Living in a country using metric, if a recipe said a coffee cup I could use any coffee I, or my neighbour had, and have the exact mesurement. Then came cheap non-standard cup from China, then US-standard size of stuff no absolutely no reason. Now, I have to mesure my pillow before buying pillowcases because I can’t be use either the pillow or the case are following any standard from around the world.
