Was up in Canada a couple years back and bought a 12 oz latte. At least
some things are still sacred!
I don't drink coffee or any variations of it, but alcohol which I'd
consider much more sacred than coffee has all been converted to metric
amounts. ~ at least the wine, beer and hard spirits that I buy has
been converted.
Pretty much the same here in the states. Wine 7 liquor typically comes
in 750 ml bottles. I guess a "fifth" of Scotch is a thing of the past.
So now we have booze and car engines measured in metric. The invasion
has begun...
