I really miss the 1/3 lb burgers at so many places that dropped them because idiots don't understand fractions...
It's like an AP Honors US History book
Tell me you don't know what the fuck you're talking about without telling me you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Can someone tell me what they're trying to say with that line? Does someone in the Monster marketing department think the covers of history textbooks are... Exciting?
I'm convinced that most marketing copy is ai generated these days.
Still traumatised by the time I ordered a slice of cherry pie in an American diner, and instead of the brobdingnagian monstrosity decades of movies and TV had accustomed me to expect I got what I can only describe as minimum viable pie.
You experienced the on going desecration of the american social contract. The diabetic-coma inducing, entirely proposturously large servings of small town diner pie is absolutely a thing. I am sorry you were cheated of this.
That'll be 15 dollars
Full load
Bursting with real juice
Why do I feel like I'm listening to an ad on Radio Los Santos?
Ah, so that's what 16oz means.
Here in the UK I see more and more places (coffee shops modelled after Starbucks mostly I guess) and places serving soft drinks mention them in ounces and I have no idea what they mean. I'm 99% sure it's illegal to do so as well, but the relentless march of USI continues.
It's pretty easy to convert mentally using the Beer Standard, where 12 fl oz = 355 mL.
For added confusion, pints are different sizes on either side of the pond too
Its illegal if its US customary floz. Needs to be British imperial floz along side metric unless its for certain products (milk, beer etc)
Would you rather have a liter of cola?
I'd rather have 2
What’s more ‘Murican than not understanding the metric system?
As funny as it is, someone could just as accurately say to you "What's more Lemmy than commenting without understanding?"
This is a marketing statement against the smaller cans of other energy drinks on American shelves next to it. They are well under 500ml, usually closer to 250ml.
Nobody should buy this garbage anyway, but that's just my opinion.
Nooo they can't mean the most famous energy drink in the world with its uniquely small can that shares a shelf with it! They MUST mean the European Monster cans that exist on the other side of the planet!
It's not even about the units - a fraction is unitless. 1/3 of something is more than 1/4 of the same something.
They don't understand imperial either though.
Nobody understands Imperial.
No it's simple see 16oz is 1.2 flasks which is easy to remember because it's based on King Ralph's favourite cup and Ralph famously died tripping over a cocksnake (unfortunate name but I won't censor history) and what do you trip with? That's right, your feet. And how many feet do you have? Exactly, 2. Hence 1.2 flasks to 1 16oz can.
That's a ridiculous mischaracterization. The word "Ounce" derives from a word meaning "one twelfth", so just like the inch to the foot, an ounce is either one sixteenth of a queen Anne pound of wine (which is itself based on the Queen Anne gallon of wine, or 231 cubic inches of wine), or one twentieth of an imperial pint, which is an eighth of an imperial gallon, which is ten water pounds.
Flasks are a unit of mercury weight, obviously.
This must be from AI since it is so confidently wrong.
This is exactly how propaganda works
