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

Volume for drinks is also Imperial in my experience.
16oz/20oz beer, 5oz wine, 1oz liquor, etc
I find that's really only with alcohol and coffee, pop or water for instance is in metric, ie 1lt, 2lt bottle,
Coffee is the worst in imperial because a standard "cup" of coffee is 6oz when everything else a cup is 8oz.
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).
