Where's the measuring cup? It's EVERY cup!

Every time I want a clean measuring cup it's been recently used, so why not etch EVERY mug or glass with measuring marks, and then you never run out!

       We have a pyrex shot glass with graduated measurements; very handy.   

       I'm always thinking "that looks like about a cup" about three minutes before I slop a little more of something else in to make up the balance. [+]   

       // A standard cup used in cooking measurements is typically 8 ounces. //   

       That's probably because 8 ounces constitute a standard cup, [21]. I think the point of this idea may have eluded you.

       No, because a 5 ounce 'cup' won't be marked '1 cup', it will be marked '5 ounces'. The proposal isn't that every vessel conform to a standard unit, it's simply a line of glasses, cups, and mugs marked with standard units graduated to whatever their maximum capacity happens to be, so that every vessel in the cupboard doubles as a handy measurement tool.

       Well, there's always the issue that the only countries that still use fluid ounces are the US, Burma and Liberia. (August company indeed)   

       The other 197-odd countries seem to do OK with metric.

       //the UK (metric) cup is still the largest as it is in cricket// Probably best not to use it to measure chili.
