Smidgen, Pinch and Dash measuring spoons

This one of my favorite Christmas gifts this year- a set of 3 measuring spoons labeled "Smidgen, Pinch, and Dash." I did a little research and found out that traditionally a dash is 1/8 teaspoon, a pinch is 1/16 t, and a smidgen is 1/32 of a teaspoon. Do you think our grandmothers knew that?

Here's an Amazon link, if you've got to have a set of your own!!! Bear in mind, I would make a big fat honkin' dime if you were to buy them through this link, so obviously the promise of riches could be clouding my judgement...

It's all about stuff, Biggles. Ya gots to have kitchen toys.

Around my family, I think a pinch was bigger than that, anyway...

Yeah, you and I both know if we had to move our ktichens would be the most worstest rooms to go. Nothing fits in any box.

That's why I say, sit down.

I got a big set of measuring spoons that had those. Up until that point, I didn't know those were real.
