Everyone was shaking in their boots, not looking forward to it.<br /><br />But in the end, lots of things were converted -- when's the last time you bought a quart of Coke? It's been a liter for at least a decade. But gas is still by the gallon.<br /><br />And, of course, drugs were always by the gram (instead of ounce) ... even in school before we even knew the metric system existed -- but maybe this is because America gets most of its drugs from countries that use the metric system?Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763751210167358084noreply@blogger.com
