We're shocked that this container design hasn't swept store shelves like wildfire. It's a storage container and measuring cup all in one — it works by allowing you to tip liquid back and forth between the main compartment and the smaller, measured compartment.
The picture at top is styled with home workshop-type things, but we could see this used for laundry detergent, hand soap — even in the kitchen.

This would be great to use for vegetable oil when cooking. I hate having to wash oily measuring cups!
I don't know why it never occurred to me, but I could actually re-use my Cool Brew container after I'm done with the coffee. It wouldn't be too hard to mark measurements on the pour spout.

Before you use this with food items, please make sure the plastic is food safe!
There's a gas stabilizer that comes in a container like this. It always bugged me to use it (all that tipping back and forth).
Plus I like pretending I'm a bartender and enjoy showing off my pouring skills.
