Americans are so bad at measurements that graduation marks don't work for them.
They need an individual container for each common measurement.
It's absurd.
Lol.
But yes, we do have graduation marks like this one, which would also clearly label the 1/4 cup and 1/3 cup parts. Whichever one you have, it's pretty intuitive that
1/3 > 1/4. I prefer the separate ones since they take up less space so they can go in a drawer instead of the cupboard (and I have 2-3 of each size), but to each their own.
