This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Same brand of soup, but one soup package has a slightly different shape and a different folding.

Naturally, it's a pretty convenient fraction of a liter to be working with while cooking.

I find ml much more useful than dl.

Both have their place, and since they are so straight-forward to convert between, there's no need to limit ourselves to one or the other.

True but if I have the option, I prefer ml. I find it more straightforward to convert between ml and l.
To me it aint like mm, m and km

You have to move the decimal more. It can tire you faster.

Very common with liquid food in Sweden. We also use hectogram for weighing solid food, e. g. if you're buying meat.

Hg used to be the standard unit for buying candy by weight as well, but they switched around 20 years ago iirc
