the basic truths of the universe

The enclosed scoop holds 1/4 cup less 1 tablespoon.

This truth is for everyone who has ever wondered just what size that little plastic scoop in the powdered drink cannister is. Most cannisters of instant iced tea or fruit drinks have this little scoop, and they're all the same size. But you can't get a scoop that size anywhere else. So if you lose the one that came with your iced tea mix, and you don't happen to have any other powdered drink scoops handy, you have to just guess. Finally, I found a container that actually specified the size of that scoop, but in a completely useless way. Not only is 1 tablespoon less than 1/4 cup a useless way to measure something, they way they actually wrote it was even worse. So make sure you keep track of those little scoops. Filling a 1/4 cup measure with powdered fruit drink, then taking 1 tablespoon of it back out just isn't worth it.
