Oh, that's sick. Funny, but sick.

Apparently, the package contains 1.22 bars. It looked like only one bar to me.

Doesn't your premise assume that the density of the ice cream bar is equal to the density of dihydrogen monoxide?
One is grams, one is millilitres. You guys will get the hang of metric one day

Yes, a MASSive difference! (duck)One is grams, one is millilitres. You guys will get the hang of metric one day
They screwed up when they rejected Whitworth's suggestion to change the meter to 40 inches when it was found that 39.37" was not 1/10,000,000th of the distance from the equator to the pole. Might've saved a lot of issues, & would've made conversions a lot easier, i.e 1" = 2.5 cm, etc. Not that I think Imperial is the be-all, end-all - but it would have provided a great basis for metric to overtake Imperial in a more natural fashion. Different thread, though, I'll grab my hat and get out!
Now I've given a lot of LOL's for pics on this thread that I find at least amusing, but I suppose it says something untoward about me that I had a good, hearty laugh at this! I could even hear Hopkins saying it!

We got the hang of it. But it is millilitERs.One is grams, one is millilitres. You guys will get the hang of metric one day
In the USA, yes, but the Australian Style Guide (a Government publication) says ‘litres’ is acceptable, whereas ‘liters’ is not.

It doesn't take much to impress me, but I'm impressed!

I also use the “Guardian Style Guide”, which is very good. Some stuff is easy to forget if you don’t use it all the time and need to be re-edumacated.

What I'll get the hang of one day is reading.
Yeah, we see what you did there.

Dear Doctor - Rolling Stones:
Oh help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
It's sleepin', it's a'beatin'
Can't ya please tear it out
And preserve it right there in that jar
Oh help me, please momma, I'm sick'nin'
It's today that's the day of the plunge
Oh, the gal I'm to marry is a bow-legged sow
I been soakin' up drink like a sponge
Don'tcha worry, get dressed, cried my momma
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
Pull your socks up, put your suit on, comb your long hair down
For you will be wed in the hour
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
I'm a sleepin' it's a beatin'
Can't ya please take it out
And preserve it right there in that jar (yup)
Oh, help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
There's a pain where there once was a heart
It's sleepin', it's a'beatin'
Can't ya please take it out
And preserve it right there in that jar
I was tremblin', as I put on my jacket
It had creases as sharp as a knife
I put the ring in my pocket, but there was a note
And my heart it jumped into my mouth
It read, darlin' I'm sorry to hurt you
But I've no courage to speak to your face
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou
There'll be no wedding today
So help me, please doctor, I'm damaged
You can put back my heart in it's hole
Oh, mama I'm cryin' tears of relief
And my pulse is now under control (yup)

I will never accept the metric system. It is less than 400 miles between San Fransisco and Los Angeles, but it is over 600 kilometers and that is just too danged far to drive in a day.
I think you're the only one who caught that... any others, just raise your hand!
And I'm keeping that Homer... Heaven knows I need it often enough!
.... You guys will get the hang of metric one day
No! No! No! Never!
When will the rest of the world end the silliness of using a system of measurement based on 10 and
realize that the system based on 1/16,1/4, 12, 3, 5280 and 20, 40, 160 is far superior!
