So… a cake?
87 0 ReplyThis is a "at what point does a knife become a sword" type of thing isn't it?
48 0 ReplyIt's already a modification to the word to describe something smaller (a cake baked in a cup), so going back the other way seems like a redundancy.
Like a giant pygmy hippo.
With your knife/sword example, maybe the best analogy is describing the shortest longsword.

Now I want more examples of a group sized thing adapted to be personal sized then reinterpreted to be group sized again.
I'm coming up blank, but I guess a similar concept would be post-it note easel pads.

An unfrosted Double Dutch, at that.
That is an offense in itself. You're making it that large, toss on the fudge or Dutch chocolate icing with it.

At that point, isn’t it just a cake wrapped in paper? I don’t think anyone would look at a salad bowl and think, “that is a cup.”

At this point thats just a cake. But, if you call it a colossal cupcake you can then charge 10 times the amount.
