Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

Yeah, that's in the food thing. What's frustrating is everything is purchased in metric denominations but in imperial-standard sizes so we get stupid crap like a 355ml (12 oz) pop can.

Traveling to metric countries is so refreshing on this. I remember being in Argentina and buying a bag of cookies at the bakery and just asking for "un cuarto" of cookies (implicitly a quarter-kilo).
