The first time I bought washing powder (AKA Laundry Detergent), there wasn't a single measuring cup inside for dispensing - but fortunately we had one laying about the place and so we were able to measure out our loads without a hitch.
This last time I bought washing powder, I opened it up, and right on top there was a measuring cup. Great, I thought and set it aside to wash it and use it for other things since the old one was actually better for pouring and not making a mess. A dozen loads of laundry later, and I find a second cup. Hmm. Well I suppose I can find a use for that too. Two loads of laundry later, I'm scooping up powder and hit something hard. A bit of digging and I pull out a tower of 11 laundry cups! I just hope that my weight of laundry powder wasn't significantly reduced by all these measuring cups. Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out creative uses for 13, 250 ml plastic measuring cups.

That's a really funny story!

That is hysterical! Our powder doesn't come with cups at all!
You're welcome to spare cups - or maybe you'll get lucky and hit the jackpot soon.
oh my, that's hilarious! (you'll put this all together into a book to publish in the US someday, right?)
