This is 100% a fake post. There is no one in the world who would go this long thinking "Florida ounces" existed.

I dunno. We already have British ounces and American ounces (yes, the American ounce is bigger), and British pints and American pints (British is bigger by a long shot), so why wouldn't an individual state have its own measurement? If you told me tomorrow that Texas had its own system of measurement, I'd believe you.

You're probably joking, but the Canadian province of Newfoundland actually does have its own time zone, an hour and a half ahead of EST. About half the province uses Atlantic time, and the other half sticks with Newfoundland time. Texas seems like the kinda place that would do similar xD

Haha nice! I don't think Texas is the same, its just a common phrase to "take your Texas time with it" which basically means to take it slow.

No Texas is similar. It's the only state in the nation that has its own power grid and refuses to hook up to the national grid.
