Wild, I didn't know there was a different gallon measurement (There's a few apparently).

mostly unrelated, but after poking around on Wikipedia, I've also learned that there's two different versions of fluid ounces (Edit: that are used actively in the US, forgot to add that), and both are used on food labels simultaneously, but relating to different things.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce#Definitions_and_equivalences

US food labeling fluid ounce

For serving sizes on nutrition labels in the US, regulation 21 CFR §101.9(b) requires the use of "common household measures", and 21 CFR §101.9(b)(5)(viii) defines a "common household" fluid ounce as exactly 30 milliliters. This applies to the serving size but not the package size, package sizes use the US customary fluid ounce.
