using measurements like 'a can' is just a bad idea anyways..
While this is true, Betty Crocker is shooting themselves in the foot with this.
Back in the day having a recipe for a specific box made cooking easier and locked people into one brand of ingredients.
This move is undoing a lot of the marketing they did back in the 40s and 50s
Yeah they're really burning that 1940s marketing asset
It’s American by nature.
“It’s 1950 and a can is a can is a can, everyone knows how big a can is. And it will never change!”
No.
You need to think in a Truman-Eisenhower can, a Reagan can, a Bush can and an Obama can just as you do about dollars for pretty much every year on record.
Now, I wonder: How many 1979 dollars in a 1990 box of Kellogs?
Oooh, that’s what Obama meant by “yes we can”
Which is why a lot of recipes will say "One 14 oz can of..."
But they didn't start saying that until 2008.
as they should
I had a chicken casserole recipe and it called for "a can of cream of chicken soup". Ok, this soup comes in the normal, single serving size and the jumbo "cooking for a family" size. It made the recipe unusable.
anything that calls for a can of cream of chicken soup was going to end up the same way regardless.
