A few years back we literally had frito lay vendors come in before store open to reset the chip aisle, all the bag sizes shrank and they credited out the previous size.

I'm surprised the new one isn't something less than 12 ounces.

I mean we're not buying this stuff any longer but I'm surprised coke seems to be more expensive in the US than it is in Denmark?!?

surely this uses more aluminum

It may use less aluminum, as the top and bottom surfaces are much thicker

The fuck is a fluid ounce?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fluid ounce is volume, ounce is weight. Liters vs grams.

Ah wonderful, so I'm sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Almost identical, my understanding is it’s slightly off since it’s such an old measurement. But for everyday purposes it’s the same.

So fluid ounces are just metric with extra steps :/
