From the side of a carton

My daughter Rachel is inordinately amused, as am I, by carton of egg whites whose recipe for a fruit smoothie directs that the ingredients be added “in order top to bottom.” And adds that the recipe “makes 2.5 1 cup servings.”

[The people who wrote up this recipe may have studied at the Grand Academy of Lagado, where an architect builds houses from the roof down (Gulliver’s Travels ).]
