💡 Interesting Facts About Volume
The "butt" was actually a volume measurement
A butt was a historical unit used for large quantities of liquid, especially wine and other beverages. An English wine butt is commonly given as 126 gallons, or roughly 477 liters. The unusual word also survives in the informal expression "a buttload."
Why is an oil barrel 42 gallons?
The standard oil barrel contains 42 US gallons. The size became a widely accepted standard in the 19th-century American oil industry, making it easier to measure, transport and trade crude oil.
What are a pinch, dash and smidgen?
Traditional cooking uses some wonderfully informal volume terms. Common reference values describe a pinch as about 1/16 teaspoon, a dash as about 1/8 teaspoon and a smidgen as about 1/32 teaspoon. Unlike milliliters, these should generally be treated as approximate kitchen measures.
What is a jigger?
A jigger is a traditional bartending measure. A commonly used jigger holds 1.5 US fluid ounces, or about 44 milliliters. The exact size can vary depending on the country and the particular measuring tool.
What is a pony?
In traditional bartending terminology, a pony is a smaller measure, commonly 1 US fluid ounce, or about 30 milliliters. It is often mentioned alongside the larger jigger measure.
Why does 1 cubic meter equal 1,000 liters?
The metric system makes this relationship surprisingly neat. A cubic meter is a cube measuring one meter on each side, while a liter is a cubic decimeter. Since one meter equals 10 decimeters, a cubic meter contains 10 × 10 × 10, or 1,000, cubic decimeters — therefore 1,000 liters.
