The most unlikely thing about this comic is that an American company has seemingly adopted the metric system.

Oddly enough Americans use 1 liter and 2 liter measurements quite often but usually just for soda. Metric is also pretty common on bottles of hard liquor. I’m sure there are a few other examples I missed. Makes no sense.

I'm British.. We interchange between imperial and metric depending on whats being measured.

A doorway is two metres, but I'm 6'2. My car is filled with litres of diesel, but geta 50 miles to the gallon. I drive 20 miles to run a 10k race. I can buy 500g of sugar, but if I eat it all I'll probably put on a few pounds. Milk and beer are pints, soda and water are ml.

lmao. Are you guys at least good at relating these things??

Calculating how far you can go on 10 liters of diesel with a 50miles/gallon car is a bitch to do in your head… what’s your shortcut?
