44 pounds = roughly 17.6 rotisserie chickens.
= 83.2 Big Macs
Big Mac uses 1/8 lb patties. I would wager they are closer to 1/3 or 3/8 of a pound
They are referred to a 10:1 patties, so 1/10 of a pound each.
When I worked there, in the late '90s and early '00s, they were 8:1. Damn they literally shrunk the patties.
They were 10:1 even in the 80’s.
Finally some intuitive measurement
Omg my work kept telling us during covid if we didn't know what 6' was just image two shopping carts. I fucking hated that shit.
At least footballs are pretty standard size. Carts can be any
"cool i imagined two shopping carts. you wanna cuddle?"
Except the drug dealers. They use metric.
Smart choices like that is how they won the War on Drugs®.
That and having a popular product that no amount of violence will decrease the demand for, of course.
I doubt many Americans know what the size of an American football is.
TIL it's 11" (2.794e+8 nm).
Same here; this is my new wrong answer to why it's called football: the ball is about a foot long!
!anythingbutmetric@discuss.tchncs.de
It's called a football. Only 11 inches long. Not even spherical. Smh.
True. Some of us do know how to use commas, though.
Sorry, I was focusing on pushing out a turd at the time and was shopping for speaker stands.
I, had a lot on my plate.
Don't get me started on short forms. Lbs and oz?
They would be way crazier if non-English-speaking countries used imperial units. See language entries for "inch"
lbs is from libra, the Latin word for "scale". oz is from onza, the Spanish ounce.
pd and oc would make more sense in an English-speaking country. Here again, the metric system is easier to understand. (We won't talk about Claude Emile Jean-Baptiste Litre.)
Right, though by nature of being an archaic system, it is susceptible to archaisms in terminology as well.
By extension, the UK should then change the iconography of the Pound Sterling (£) from a stylized L to a stylized P.
