A US customary teaspoon (found very often in cooking recipes, a set of measuring spoons is extremely basic kit in an American kitchen) is something like 4.98mL, a tablespoon is 3 teaspoons. So you’ll find a lot of products especially medicines and such diluted for dosing at 5 and 15mL, to be extremely close to a tea- or tablespoon. Because if you need to give your child a dose of dimetapp at 3 in the morning and don’t have the little measuring cup that those come with, you’ve got your kitchen measuring spoons.
As always, just a great unit of measure.
Also found out that you have “liquid pints” and “dry pints” as well, for some reason.
