Okay yes I know I'm dumb but I needed a second 16" pan last minute, and so I sent hub to grab one at the craft store with a 40% off coupon.
Got it home and will be using it BUT its like 1/4" LARGER than my older (about 8 years old) Wilton 16" pan!!! What in the world??? I thought 16" was 16"?!
Grr. Luckily its for something that will probably be somewhat carved down anyways....
Yeap, leave it to a man to make something bigger than what it should be. (Whatever you are thinking is on YOU...i didn't say anything) LOL
jammjenks, that's funny! LOL Yeah, i even find that different brands have different sizes too, like for the same size of something. For example, a 10" wilton doesn't match a 10" something else. So frustrating...i think all companies should use the same ruler, I thought we did, but I guess not!
Probably designed by a man. Their measurements aren't always consistent.
heehee 
oops...I mean "constructive criticism"
Nice try, but...no.
I recently bought Wilton cake pans. One set of 9" and one set of 8". Problem is they are not 9" or 8". The 9" is 8.5" and the 8" is 7.5". I thought this was normal. It isn't?
If not, I intend on writing to Wilton to let them know how unhappy I am about this. I bought some parchment paper circles in 8" and 9" size and I still have to trace around them to cut them smaller. I was hoping to eliminate that step.

My understanding from years ago, is that they are smaller to allow for a total 1/2 inch frosting. (1/4 inch on all sides.)
Tee hee! Thanks for all of the giggles tonight. Funny posts! 
Not so funny about the pan size difference, though.
