Back to the original subject: I was at Home Depot yesterday because the
local hardware store was out of the fluorescent bulbs I needed. I took a
look at the Behr paints. They're 126 oz. Not a pint short. I wonder which
brand the OP was talking about.
126 ounces is short of a gallon, though not by a pint.
Ya think?
I know for sure! And I am not talking about imperial gallons or
anything like that.
Makes me want to start paying attention to milk bottles to make sure I
am not being cheated! ...
The one in my fridge says: "1 gallon, 3.78 l". That is more than
126 US fluid ounces.
