Meh. On the page that URL links to, those custard cups look pretty
cool--perfect for popovers. Click on the pic, though, and you get a
different picture, one that is like what they actually are--short and
squat with a large diameter mouth. Not what you want for my popovers.

I just went to my stash of cups and did some measuring. I have
GlasBake, Pyrex, Fire King. I have a couple Pyrex that are 3-1/2"
outside top diameter and 2" outside bottom diameter and 1-1/2" tall.
The tallest of the others is 2-1/2 inches; most are not more than
2-1/32" tall. None has an inside diameter more than 3-1/8", most are
just under 3". Most of mine are 5-ounce cups.
