Comment on Well, I mean they probably... Maybe they...

  That’s the one that gets me the most, man. People will literally go and say “the sixteen-point-nine-ounce bottle” instead of just saying “500 mil bottle” and it blows my mind. It’s so much less awkward to say. I’ve even heard people ask for the 33-point-eight ounce bottle at the gas station I work at. It’s a fucking liter. Just say the 1 liter bottle!

  I know it’s a completely lost cause at this point, but I genuinely wish we’d switch:(

    I’ve never heard that one.

    1 liter, 2 liter. Always. But anything smaller in imperial. Very odd tbh
