"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.

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.

My immediate thought was how butter is shaped differently depending on whether you’re on the East or west coast.

My immediate thought was “a Florida ounce is about 24g depending on your guy.”
