So, instead of "brain fart", I can start with "brain plastic"?
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
Op, you made a typo in the post title. The article says worth and you have weight.
I changed it, because "a spoon's worth" could mean either, the volume of the spoon itself, or a spoonful.
I read it as the weight of the spoon itself which doesn’t make much sense vs the weight of what the spoon would hold when filled with a scoop.
Yes, that’s why I changed it. “A plastic spoon’s weight” is clear. “A spoon’s worth” could mean a few different things. In my opinion.
For some, this would be an improvement.
