Measuring solid volume in milliliters? Really?

[sciencetheater]

@ScienceHideout I wasn't measuring a true volume because I wasn't measuring a solid. However, the markings served as a handy guide for change.

Wait how are the newer type of peanuts better for you?

[sciencetheater]

The newer peanuts are made of corn starch which decomposes easily. You can even eat them (but they taste bland! Uggh.)

However, I highly recommend you DON'T eat them, you don't know what they were packed with... not very clean and all that.
