US gallons

to be fair the yank system is way more sensible if you can have a sensible Imperial system (why do yanks have an imperial system anyway ? they never had nor wanted an empire or emperor)

1 cup = 1/2 pint 8 oz
2 cup 16oz
16 oz = 1 pint also = 1 pound
2 pint quart
4 pint half gallon
8 pint gallon


ours is based on the uk gallon being on 10 pounds of water, so 5 pounds = half gallon etc and so on down, makes the measurement of fluid ounces very difficult
oh yank oz are bigger than uk ones, by about 4-5%

US gallon being based on a wine gallon which was determined by cubic inches, tis fecking confusing, its all approximate anyway we apparently changed the gallon to equal a certain portion of a liter.

There are fucking idiots in this country that want to go back to this god awful system !!!!!!!!!!!!

metric base 10 and everything in multiples either up or down in size makes life much easier, Ltrs is the only way to go

oh the only place in the world that smaller condoms are sold is south east asia, other than that its the same size everywhere, condoms are made to accommodate the fact that in the US they are far bigger knobs than elsewhere in the world
