What's a gallon?

Yeah, I know. Just trying to be a wise guy.
Funny thing, up here we buy our milk in 4 litre bags. 3 individual 1.33 litre bags in one bag.
Easier to lift and pour than a full gallon, but you have to change the bags and snip the corners often. REALLY often if you live with teenage boys. We buy 6 x 4 l every three or four days. That's 18 bag changes.
And go figure, I am the only person who knows how to change the milk bag. Councidentally, I am also the only person who knows how to change the toilet roll, and put the seat back down.

- U.S. unit of volume: a unit of capacity in the U.S. customary system equal to eight U.S. pints (approximately 3.79 liters)
- British unit of volume: a unit of capacity in the British imperial system equal to eight British imperial pints (approximately 4.55 liters)

At Kwik Trip (a gas station), their milk is sold in bags, but in half gallons. It's actually the best milk around here IMO.

Yep, I know.
I was of the generation that started learning imperial measurements before Canada switched to metric when I was in grade 5.
So, you can consider me an expert in both systems, or equally inept in each. Take your pick.

We have to learn both because for science we use metric. I was describing something to my uncle and used the term centimeter because it worked better, and he said, "This is the US. We don't use metric." My mom said the other day, "Metric makes no sense!" I told her it made more sense than imperial as it is grouped by 10s logically.

It is also infinitely more logical that water boils at 100 degrees and freezes at zero.
That being said, we only switched because you guys (our largest trading partner) were going to. Then, you didn't. Ronald Reagan defunded the U.S. Metric Board following his election in 1980.
From Wikipedia:
Since 1976 the law requires that all prepacked food products must declare their mass or their volume in metric units, though Canadian imperial units are still legally permitted on packaging.[4] Milk has been thoroughly metric since 1980. In April 1975 Fahrenheittemperatures were replaced by Celsius. In September 1975 rainfall was first measured in millimetres and snow in centimetres. Since April 1976, wind speed, visibility, and atmospheric pressure have been in SI units, with the pressure in kilopascals. In September 1977 every speed-limit sign in the country was changed from miles per hour to kilometres per hour.[5]
Once we were in, we probably couldn't afford to switch back.

Being from WI, I bet you chuckle when any of us claim our milk/cheese is "good". Nothing compares to what ya'll get up there.

Auto correct learns from what you have typed in the past!!!
FYI...the past version of WDWMagic would not even allow you to type "trucker" ...much less "duck" or "Dick" York/Sargeant/Nunis.
Auto-correct had nothing to do with it but when you see "****" in a body of text you automatically know it's censored and your mind tries to fill in the blank. I'd rather see "trucker" than "******"
