Don’t know if you’re joking or not, but to anyone actually curious “fluid ounce” its the volume of 1 ounce of water (or wine, not all fluid ounces are the same since because not all ounces are the same).

It’s a florida ounce. Takes its roots in the cocaine industry in the 1980s.
A florida ounce is approximately equal to about 25g of mass (on earth), or 25mL of volume.

Yeah - it’s “fluid ounces” but due to a much memed question that someone once posted the internet sometimes refers to them as “Florida ounces” purely for the lulz.

I was into my 20s before I realized they’re NOT Florida ounces. But then I grew up and still live with the metric system.
