What do you usually measure on your scale, that a cup would equal half a
kilo (vol/mass).

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

I saw that also, however a cup is a liquid measure and thought it may be
different than ours. Also 225g is less than one fourth a kilogram, not one
half.

Dry measure of flour can be different from product to product. For baking
measuring flour is best done by weight rather than by volume.

My other thought was they have A cup that weighs 225g

And the brain farts just keep on coming ;O) Don't read what I write,
read what I mean, and I meant a pound, not a kilo (but then it's not
mass is it? :O( Rats! It would be volume divided by force [I see that a
pound is now also considered mass, but back in the day, mass was
measured by slugs, which brings us back to the garden.];O)
