Easymac's not THAT awful in the scheme of things, but it is a bit silly of them to put precise measurements on those flimsy cups. If you're in the kind of situation where cheap, microwaveable meals are the thing, you're not really likely to have a full set of measuring cups on you. But then, I never measure anything anyway and it's only got me into trouble when baking cookies (I think I'm the only person capable of making disgusting chocolate chip cookies).
