To me in order from largest to smallest, they are:

  1. Overnight oats from a jar, cheesecake, apple pie with custard spoon
  2. Measuring of instant coffee spoon (x2 makes a good cup)
  3. Stirring of actual tea spoon
  4. Nutella straight from the jar spoon

The largest spoon here (John Lewis, orbital range) has a bowl volume of over TWICE the smallest one!

  3. Just upper and lowercase T’s – you wouldn’t use the right hand one to put sugar into a Sports Direct mug, you’d use the big bertha on the left.

  5. I don’t really know what to do with this information but I am kinda outraged 

    I buy cheap cutlery as it goes missing as fast as my socks do, I’m guessing I mostly stock 4s

  7. the accordion sounds so good when accompanied by the spoons…. Take it away 🎶

  9. I’ve been suspicious of teaspoon size regularity from the gecko.

  10. Objectively speaking a teaspoon holds 5ml of liquid. 

    You could use one of those medicine caps or something to measure 5ml and see which one holds exactly that.

  15. Range from fancy cup and saucer to Sports Direct mug.

  16. third from the left is the best one and the only one I will use. I will not elaborate

  17. Doesn’t really matter. They all live in the same drawer in perfect harmonium.

  18. They look like members of a boy band lining up to bow at the end of a concertina

  21. Anything’s a teaspoon if you’re brave enough

  22. The smallest one is what Turks would call a teaspoon. The largest one would be considered a “dessert” spoon.

    That being said, I thought EVERYONE here dug into the Nutella jar with a proper TABLESPOON, what the hell, guys?

  23. If you need to use a teaspoon as a volume measurement (ie 5ml), you use a special one made for that purpose. Not an actual teaspoon. These all look good for the job of stirring tea, where precision isn’t necessary.

  24. A tea spoon is just for stirring tea right? So any size that fits in the cup will do.

  25. So when the first guy imported tea into the UK how did he know how much to use?

  26. Eating owt with the tiny espresso spoon is proper insanity.

  29. I have mugs that are in proportion to each of those spoons.

  31. Can you send them to me. Our company only bought one teaspoon for the whole floor. I ate yoghurt with a knife the other day.
