One of my favorite columnists is Al Sicherman, of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. He's eccentric, usually funny, and ostensibly a food columnist. And he wrote one of my favorite cookbooks, Caramel Knowledge.
One of his recent columns was on one of life's little mysteries: How much sugar is in a packet? (site may require free registration) You'd think that a packet of sugar held a teaspoon, but no. Standard packets hold between 1/8-ounce and 1/11-ounce; a teaspoon would be about 1/7-ounce.
Yes, yes, I know. Trivia. Just the kind of thing I was meant to know.
