  I just spent my afternoon doing volume calculations… each unit is 3 oz, I need 300 units, 900 oz, but I can only buy in 1 gallon which is 128 oz, etc. For this one, each unit is 10g and 600 of those, I can buy in 1.25 lb or 2.6 lb let’s convert that and see what the cost per gram is and go with the cheaper, okay I can buy in 1180g how much do I need again?

  Repeat that 57 times and you too can have a job in supply chain.

    Reading that made my brain hurt. It’s times like this that I really wish America would go metric.

    But what I can say? That’s a 570-liter dream.
