    (I had to dig these from the back of a kitchen drawer, so not “favorites” exactly.)

    1 mL. Studying chemistry has made that extremely useful and now other units seem ridiculous.

    If we’re talking about geology or oceanography though, cubic meters are fine.

        Wood Science must be a rather strange field.

    100 ml is pretty easy to use. You can multiply it or divide it evenly without having to think at all.

      Imagine having to fill a 5 gal bucket using a 100ml container.

        5 gallons is circa 19 liters. So when the liquid is water, then you don’t need to use the 100 ml container. 1 liter of water weights 1 kilogram, so put the 5 gallons bucket on a scale and pur in 19 kilograms of water.

    My beloved teaspoon… When I’m too lazy to fish the tablespoon out of my coffee tin and clean it… three teaspoons

    I would truly starve to death if I didn’t have a teaspoon

      And let’s not forget how useful it is when making tea!
