via Quinn “The Eskimo!”: TIL that a US food labelling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.
From Wikipedia Fluid ounce:
A US customary fluid ounce is 1⁄16 of a US liquid pint and 1⁄128 of a US liquid gallon or exactly 29.5735295625 mL, making it about 4.08% larger than the imperial fluid ounce.
A US food labeling fluid ounce is exactly 30 mL.
(My take: Seriously? We have two definitions for fluid ounce that are 1.4% different from each other – and also different by a few more percent from the “imperial” (UK) definition? This makes just about zero sense to me. Why, America, why? Also: Why have we not converted to metric already? Time for this nonsense to end.)
