Has anyone got that video showing the difference between measuring and weighing food?

I'd like to show it to someone and haven't located it yet.

Cheers!!

    Technically it's a video showing the difference between measuring food by volume and measuring food by mass (or weight). Weighing food is still measuring it. (Sorry, just one of the things I see people saying all the time on here that irritate me, and I finally feel compelled to point out that weighing is measuring.)

    So do you have the link to the video or have I already found it?

    The one you found looks like it's making the point you're talking about, but I don't think it's the video I remember seeing posted before. I'm sorry, I don't have the link saved.

    I tried finding it using the search function for the MFP discussion boards. It's bizarre. I feel like I've seen it posted in every thread on weighing food I've ever read, and when I want to find it, it's not on any of them. :|

    This is the first video I saw about weights vs measures ... it's still good to get the point across ...

    I hadn't seen that one before. I actually started using a food scale for baking years before I ever used it for logging my food and tracking my calories.
