Butter is the one people are usually asking about
American recipes measure butter in tablespoons because the wrapper is printed that way: a stick is 8 tablespoons, 113 g or 4 oz. 15 tablespoons of butter is 213 g, which is 1.88 sticks. Butter sold outside the US comes in 200 g, 250 g or 500 g blocks with no tablespoon markings at all, which is exactly why this conversion gets searched.
