My first thought was gram times second times meter per kilogram xD

That doesn’t look right
Ugh, at least I’ve heard of that
Was this chart made by a mediaeval apothecary?
Alright, what the fuck‽

It’s an American. Ld50 is in g/kg. Quarts are our magic bullshit, but idk why they used it vodka is in fifths and handles (750mL/1.5L respectively). Table salt comes in a standard cylindrical container consisting of about enough to kill every other person that weighs 10.7 stone.

Fifths? Handles‽

You are correct. A handle is double that. It’s big enough the bottle has a handle on it

The only thing I’ll defend here is cylinder, because we actually all get our salt in cylinders, so it’s a legitimately useful comparison in this one specific instance
