[QUOTE="Chesterton, post: 75672419, member: 225709"] They were trying to introduce it here in the '70's also, but we had less reason to convert. It never took hold except with scientists, with the exception of the liter and two liter bottle of Coca-Cola, for some reason. Although we still mainly use ounces and gallons for liquids, the only time you'll hear an American speak in metric is when they're buying soft drinks sometimes. :) [/QUOTE]
