They wasted so much electricity coming up with that nonsense when they could have just said it's FLUID and maybe directed you to some kind of remedial education center.
The most confusing part of this to me is having this feeling of only remembering seeing floz on orange juice boxes, so it could have been Florida for all I knew. Thanks for the clarification that I'm only going partially insane!
If you only see the abbreviation fl oz and happen to live in Florida, I can see making the connection. People don't talk about ounces being both a volume (fl oz) and weight (oz) measurement. Go metric and you don't have to know!
Thanks copilot!

Hey, that's my doctor
This confused the fuck out of my metric brain.
Fl oz. It’s not Florida, but fluid.
TBF most of Florida is
No, that's easy, 10 fl oz is equal to 3 psm (3 pissing marmots). And 100 fl oz is equal to 1 hesh itm (1 horny elephant shit in the morning).
We call them "Flounces" actually.
I've chosen to read it as "fluid ounces" for years, never once questioning "how is a fluid ounce different from a regular one?".
Fluid ounce is a measure of volume (8 fluid ounces per cup) ounces is a unit of weight (16 ounces per pound)
measures your solids in fluid ounces

It's the Murikan way to copy milliliters, which are the same as cubic centimeters volumetrically.
Fluid ounces are cubic nurples.
Huh? I just did a conversion and it says 1 fluid ounce equals 30 milliliters
The conversion process takes many computing cycles. I don't recommend typing it into Google too many times or it will cause brownouts in North Dakota.
By pure coincidence, you've chosen to read it the exact way it's meant to be read.

1 Florida Ounce is how much meth 1 Florida Man smokes before making 1 headline.
Subreddit is wrong, there are stupid questions.
I know it means "fluid ounces" but every single time I see it my brain says "floral ounces".
I just read it floz. Doesn't mean anything to my European ass, anyway.
2 flozes? Sure. Might as well be that.
Whoa mine does too I wonder why that is? What an odd assumption for a brain to make
My theory is something like fluid -> fluoride -> floral but who knows
My French brain reads that as "Eiffel Oz" (like the wizard of Oz and the Eiffel tower).
With the metric system, this would not be an issue.
I wonder if they like putting Kentucky Jelly on their toast.
When I was growing up in FL it was 'five fingers', but later was standardized to 28.35g.
That, in a nutshell, is a good indirect explanation for you if you're still unsure how it could happen that Trump got elected for a second term.
That took me too long
Growing up in Miami, I made that mistake too.
.... When I was six.
Oh grow up and use liters like normal people.
I was thinking this was going to be something like a logsday post but then I realized it was just as weid but different.
They're like regular ounces, just more irregular.
Sounds like something someone from Florida would say
