I really beg to differ. My old cassettes are 1/8 inch. I've got one in my hand as I write.

I know about the larger tapes, I've had cassette, 8-track and reel to reel. Early on, 1/4 inch tape was sometime housed in a 'cassette'...but it was not the cassette so widely available that was the standard for home usage, cars etc.....
