This was in upliftingnews but imo, they've been overcharging for years and now they're framing this as a feel good story (slrpnk.net)

For water, they're actually equivalent, just like grams and milliliters. As the old saying goes, "a pint's a pound the world around, but mainly in the U.S. and Liberia."

They're not equivalent. 1 g of water is 1 ml. But 1 oz is 28.3 g and 1 fl oz is 29.6 ml.
