Salad Dressing Takeout Containers?

I think I may be grossly underestimating my salad dressing measurements. If I have a small Solo mini takeout container of salad dressing (clear plastic cup with a lid), I've been counting that as 2 tablespoons - but I really think it's more than that! I think it really might be 4 oz, but that's 8 tablespooons!!!

Any ideas?

    Keep adding a tablespoon on water to it till it's full. Seems like the easiest way to find out.

    Look at the bottom of the cup....The item number will either have a 2, 3, or 4 in it...That's how many ounces it is...The most common one is 2oz.... (I sell them to stores at my job)....
