It’s the Illuminati. They have to tell/show you what they’re doing for some reason. Probably has to do with that. I don’t know what it means though. And yes, I read conspiracy theories.

Do you perhaps mean 568ml? It’s a pint and beer quite commonly comes in that size. Some water, like liquid death comes in that size, and I’ve just googled and so does shampoo.

I thought initially it must be a round number of flounces, but it’s closer to 21 than 20floz, so IDK.

Lambs definitely flounce when they’re happy

During my research, I discovered that it’s 0.0000002472 Olympic swimming pools, which is probably the reason for the odd number of mL.

618ml is 21.75 fl oz in the UK (imperial).

How does this not stress you out, Americans?

We don’t have things in that size. You’ll see drinks in 20 oz (568 ml) or 12 oz (355 ml). And naturally for larger size sodas, we have 1L and 2L bottles. The 20oz drinks may have shrunk to 16.9oz (500 ml) though. As for other stuff like shampoo or sunscreen? Those are determined by a random number generator.

Nothing stressful at all about the system.

25 years ago we had to memorize conversions and use a calculator (some calculators included a “cheat sheet”). It was 2 extra steps (convert to metric, do any needed math, convert back) but pretty routine once you got the hang of it.

Since then we’ve had Wolfram Alpha and a ton of unit converter smartphone apps. Even a basic Google query can convert most units.

We don’t use Imperial. We have our own system, US Customary. And our ounces are fractionally bigger.

Huh. I put 618ml in Google and hit “shopping” filter and only one item comes up in that size, a hair cream somewhat ominously named Fakeshu.

Unlike the completely unominous sham poo that is also used in hair.
