On the ever increasing size of things


As you can see from the picture my 8x8 square baking pan of 43 years has seen better days so I went in search of a new one and found this beautiful Wilton brand gold 8x8 size pan. I put them side by side and thought they looked pretty even. I have a plastic square container that I can transfer things to from my old pan and it fits "perfectly". When I put the old pan into the new one I discovered that the new pan is a few centimeters larger than the old pan. I guess this is part of the problem of the ever increasing sizes of everything in the US. I don't think the new pan will bake things that will fit "perfectly" into my plastic container. :(
