That is understandable, I was surprised that metric is actually used somewhere. Use in pharmacy also explains why in Hollywood stoner comedies they used grams, which always confused me.

    It's used all over the place in the US. It's usually a weird, thoughtless mixture. Milk is sold in gallons, soda is sold in liters.

    In fact, you'll find exceptions in most countries once you start looking for them. Just a matter of how prevalent the metric system is; nobody is 100%. Most common exception is car tires because of how industry standards work.
