    I bought measuring cups from ebay for a couple of quid after wondering the same thing! Very handy.

    Take a cup, measure food item, weight said item, note the result. There you go.

    If a tree falls in the forest, and there is no one there, does it make a sound?

    No, a cup is a measurement of volume, not mass. ex. 250ml

    A cup is one inch bigger than your band size.
    Ok, ok, it's about two small handfuls.
    Seriously, though... the OP's question was answered almost 3 years ago.

    Doesn't work like that. Cup is a volume measure, not a weight measure. Water is 8oz to a cup, other things are more or less than that for the volume based on a lot of factors.
