This "Post-Script" is SO important I have put it at the beginning of my review and not at the end.....
Several other reviewers have mentioned that this Fred Equal Measure Measuring Cup is good but FRAGILE, and prone to breakage. This is, sadly, absolutely true. However, I have read of a method to make ALL glassware LESS breakable. And, if this is done several times, ALL glassware is practically BREAK-PROOF! I read of this method in a book by composer Burt Bacharach's FATHER, on household hints. The title escapes me, so I have not been able to find it anywhere. This is the one tip, however, that I do remember from that book. (If anyone finds out the title, PLEASE list the name in a comment to this review!)
To make glass break-resistant, (and, if done repeatedly, practically break-proof....)
1).. Find a large container, and put it on a heat source.
2).. Run a water source, (such as a stove-top), and fill several containers, preferably made of glass. Fill these containers with COLD water, and pour this water into the large container, now on the heat source, till the container is 2/3-3/4 full.
3).. Put some salt in the large container, about 5 teaspoons per gallon. Stir the salt around until it dissolves and disappears.
4).. Carefully put your glassware into the large container. The now-salted water should completely cover the glassware.
5).. Turn the heat on, to the VERY LOWEST setting. Keep the container U_N_covered.
6).. Wait until the water gets very, very hot. This may take several hours. The LONGER it takes for the water to get hot, the MORE BREAKPROOF your lassware will be.
That's it. Water, salt, a heat-source, and a bit of patience! I've heard other people call this "tempering" the glass. Whatever you call it, to repeat, do this several times, and ANY glasswear will become practically break-proof! (I've tried this....and it works!)
Buy this item! As the ultra-ultra Right Wingers in the USA have embraced the name "Tea-Party", (a reflection, of course, on the "Boston Tea Party", wherein American Revolutionists dressed as Native Americans, and spilt tons of tea into Boston Harbour, so they would hot have to pay tax on it), so this item, FRED EQUAL MEASURE MEASURING CUP, can stand up for Equality, for the rest of us! Let the elite "tea partyers" drink tea from their fancy cups -- we "ordinary" folk can have just as much satisfaction, (and perhaps even more!), drinking from our multi-purpose FRED EQUAL MEASURE MEASURING CUP! Showing the equivalent volumes and measures of so many things, OUR rallying cry should be: "Aren't All Human Beings Equal, Too?" This glass measuring beaker-cup is great for measuring, for coffee, (and tea!), drinking other beverages.....and for drinking in your own favourite drink -- coffee, tea, milk, cocoa, soda -- whatever. Whatever your favourite drink is, THAT drink is the "Freedom Drink" for you! Freedom of choice! Freedom in ALL things!
The limits of Freedom? Just this: as Oliver Wendell Holmes said, "My Freedom To Swing My Arm Ends Where Your Nose Begins." Great rhetoric!
Now, if only the "Elites" would understand this! In the meantime....get this Fred Equal Measure Measuring Cup. And measure things...and drink your own favourite "freedom drink"...to your body and heart's health, and to your heart's content!
