Just got a Sunbeam Coffee Maker.  It states in the manual that (1 cup = 5 oz.).  Who gave them the power to change a fundamental unit?  That 5 is five oz.  No wonder why the world is so screwed up.  It's not a typo.
 
Maybe it should have been: 1 Sbcoc = 5 oz.  A Sbcc is a Sunbeam cup of coffee.

I do not know the answer to that.  I always thought a cup equals 8 ounces.  Any measuring cup I have or have had, used 8 oz. to make a cup.  Go figure!  Anyone good coffee drinker knows that a cup of coffee is actually like 16 ounces! Lol.

I think they are using a tea cup.  I can't get 12 mugs of coffee our of my12 cup coffee maker.  
 
Remember, there are only 42 gallons in one of $100 barrels of oil.
