Abstract
One-hundred middle-class homes in the city of Pelotas were visited in order to measure the volumes of teaspoons, dessertspoons and tablespoons. The data obtained show that spoons are consistently smaller than expected from reading medical textbooks. The importance of these findings to careful prescribing are discussed.
