There is a difference between teaspoons and dessertspoons? ๐Ÿค”

I have only ever heard of tablespoons and teaspoons. We exclusively used teaspoons as dessertspoons.

So this actually came up recently for me. I wanted to get spoons the same size as the ones I used as a kid to eat cereal, so I ordered some dessert spoons. Turns out, what I actually used as a kid was a teaspoon. My wife was confused when I said the dessert spoons weren't the right size though, since that is the size of spoon she always used to eat cereal growing up.

The spoon paradox continues! ๐Ÿ˜‚
