    Also the Solo brand is popular for its structural integrity and perceived measurement lines. Now, the company claims that the distinct cup width changes aren’t for helping measure liquids for various alcoholic drinks so one can measure a shot versus a glass of wine or a glass of beer. However, I think that’s a bit of a legal cover.

        Yeah, they aren’t good because they’re some specific unit of measure. They’re good because they’re consistent and fit the need. That’s how measures are crested in the first place. They aren’t magical things that exist in nature that we found. We just needed to measure something, so we used something convenient on hand that fit the task.
