Salad Bars

Would it really be all that difficult for food establishments that have a salad bar to indicate on their various spoons and ladles the measurement of said implement? For example, the ladles for salad dressings - 2Tbsp; the scoops for veggies - 1/2C.
I don't think so. Metadata for real life - what a novel idea!
Real-life Metadata (like Fight Club?)

If only we had the overlay from Fight Club, we could see the hidden metadata embedded in products (or left by previous people). Ah, and an off switch for that sight - else we go blind from another form of information overload.
We'll be talking about metadata in our forthcoming Market IQ on Findability, but not quite to this extreme.
Cheers,

Meta Servings

Seriously, that's a great thought - I've wondered that as I passed by the salad bar. We (consumers) are so tied into measuring the weight of the total salad to determine price...it would be brilliant to measure the servings as well...
