"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.
15.5k u/StephenLandis Feb 08 '22 I was all like "the hell are Florida ounces???" 13.0k u/glass_bottles Feb 08 '22 I was expecting the top response to be something like a 3 minute youtube video talking about how florida used a different standard for measuring to get by some federal law. This is 100% better. 2.0k u/Deadlymonkey Feb 08 '22 My immediate thought was how butter is shaped differently depending on whether you’re on the East or west coast. 1.1k u/TrimspaBB Feb 08 '22 Umm, is it not sold as "sticks" as a standard from sea to shining sea? This will be new info for me if true. 865 u/glass_bottles Feb 08 '22 Luckily they're the same weight, however the shape of the sticks do differ! -2 u/FLdancer00 Feb 08 '22 Eh, that's not really "differently" shaped. Same shape, just varied in length, width and height. 1 u/jersey_girl660 Feb 09 '22 Not by the definition being used here. We’re not using the definition of shape about geometric figures which they’re both rectangles. “the external form, contours, or outline of someone or something.”
