Talk:526: Converting to Metric

Why is 3L a two-liter bottle?75.69.96.225 21:16, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Because this is America and we supersize our sodas! 72.68.9.56 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

It is the volume of the bottle itself. I have added this explanation. Sten (talk) 22:39, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

A 2L bottle doesn't take 3L of space, not even close. I also think it's a reference to overly large drinks in the US. But even if it isn't, the current explanation is wrong. 108.162.229.34 22:28, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

I suspect he's just messing with us, because the approximate volume of a two-liter bottle should be obvious. Many beverages sold in the US are already labeled in metric. Soda is routinely sold in one and two liter bottles, with three-liter bottles common in some markets. Bottled water is often sold in liters and half-liters. Liquor and wine are sold in 375 and 750 mL bottles. Also, since 1 quart = 946 mL, an approximate (+/- 5%) mental conversion from quarts to liters is already quite easy.

The world record as per wikipedia (and Guiness) is "only" 56.7. See corrected explanation above. Kynde (talk) 17:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

There was an incomplete asking for checking all measures and also for making sure that the references to serenity and velociraptors was mentioned. I did this, the last two by assigning the categories (firefly), and then also creating a new category:Your Mom. I now consider this explanation complete. Although if someone will speculate two whom the remaining two from the Serenity crew tower then please do so ;-) Kynde (talk) 17:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
