Some of these are kind of confusing but hey, good measurements.
LOL WHAT.
One serving of pasta should fit in an ice cream scoop?
Not in my world.

Pretty sure the USDA defines one serving of pasta as half a cup — maybe my circa-1955 ice cream scoop is just behind the times, but that shit is not a half a cup. Also, this doesn’t make sense. Should your steak also be as thin as an iPod classic, or just as long and as wide? Should your pancake be as thin as a DVD? If you make a pancake that’s five inches thick but has the same diameter as a DVD, is it still a serving of pancake? How would you even cut a piece of butter as thin as a postage stamp? And a piece of dark chocolate that’s as thick as a container of dental floss seems like a lot of dark chocolate (though I would eat it, obvs). Why were a golf ball and a light bulb chosen as the comparisons for peanut butter and beans, respectively? Who rolls their peanut butter into a ball before spreading it? A light bulb is a pretty complicated shape to estimate the volume of. You know you can go in your kitchen, look at a measuring cup and maybe a couple spoons, make a mental note of how big they are, and figure out your servings based on that instead of playing some Piaget conservation game with light bulbs and beans?
