for Mop, from B2: People in Syracuse, Buffalo, etc, hate to be lumped in with Upstate New York, because it's a NYC term. - loosilu Oct 7, 19:29 [Backboard] 10
- Upstate is anywhere north of where you are, which to NYCers is everywhere. -- nm - Tim Oct 7, 19:46 4

I hate foods (like pasta) that give serving sizes by ounces. Yes, I could buy a scale. No, I won't buy a scale!! -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 7, 18:28 6

- you can eye ball half a box or bag, then divide that by half again to get four servings out of one container, use a rubber band or baggie for the rest -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 7, 18:30 2
  - I could, but a 2oz serving is 1/7th of a box. Would be so much easier if they'd list cups per serving. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 7, 18:36 1

  - Well if you don't want to win a World Series then it doesn't matter -- nm - Bacon Oct 7, 17:15
