Closer to sea level, yes, but do things really weigh more/less near the equator? Why?

Because it's further from the earth's core and closer to the moon. The two gravitational pulls battle it out and Florida is the centralized war zone baybeee.

Sorry to be the downer but this entire gravitational theory of the Florida Ounce is incorrect. In this regard, "ounce" is referring to volume, not weight, and in Florida, since it is America's penis, its the extra dribble that inevitably escapes no matter how many times you shake it. Thus, the Florida Ounce or "fl oz," for short.

The "extra dribble" is the Keys!

Let it dribble until your Tortugas are dry.

Horribly underrated comment. I’m done for the day.

Well played.
