Measure For Measure - Random Trivia Questions

In the U.S., we live in a pretty mixed up world. Milk is sold by the quart, half-gallon, and gallon, but soda usually comes in two-liter bottles. Food such as cereal is measured in ounces, but the nutrition facts are listed in milligrams and grams. Imperial units have no rhyme or reason anymore, but we're stuck with them for the foreseeable future. Nevertheless, the metric system, more formally the International System of Units (SI) since the 1960s, will eventually prevail as the U.S.'s portion of the world economy shrinks.
