Really? And here I thought it was still in those really confusing Florida ounces. Even up here in Canada, where we do have millilitres marked on our cans, I still see “Fl oz” on many products.
Sorry, but the entire u.s. economy is actually run on this kind of scam logic. Honest people are run out or killed a few years in. Like with cops.
It’s in the college textbooks, but naturally none of the news channels can cover the details at any length, due to conflict of interest in funding.
The US food industry is based on bulk size as a reason to spend more. We buy in bulk and all of the large stuff is “value sizes”. They wouldn’t obfuscate the size of their soda to make it seem like you were getting a smaller amount.
Literally all of your food and drinks in America are sold by the metric unit. That’s why it is on the packaging. Your “fifth” of vodka is actually 750ml and is not 1/5 of a gallon.
And our largest bottles of soda.
And alcohol!
And my axe!
And my Glock!
Glock is Austrian. They just love the US market.
I think most gun makers like the American market
And my crippling medical debt.

When I buy a handle, I don’t know how many ounces are in it, just that there’s 1.75L in it.
Like a goddamn liter cola
That’s done intentionally to obfuscate the quantity, since most Americans can more easily estimate a half-gallon. It’s to encourage consumption.
Doubt intensifies
