I'm just waiting for that, the stores have delivery in the cities but I live in a more rural area now. As soon as a store begins delivering here, I'm never going to a grocery store again.

I guess $2 is also the hourly wage of the workers.
For the record, that milk jug shown in @mysterionz 's post was a Canadian 4L.
Random facts:
Canadian milk container sizes vary by region and company, and some sell by metric units (i.e. 4L, 2L, 1L, 0.5L, 0.25L) whereas others sell by the gallon and fraction (e.g. 3.78L / gallon, 1.89L / half gallon, 0.94L / quarter gallon, 0.47L / pint, 0.236L / half pint).
Cartons can go up to 2L, but some places use plastic bottles or containers.
Some smaller brands continue to use traditional glass bottles, with a $1 deposit.
And then there's the milk bags which are stored in a specially sized milk pitcher.

I shouldn't have been surprised in hindsight, but I never knew Canada used the US gallon. I just expected you would have been on the imperial system.
You can get $30 000 for moving to a quaint little town in Italy. I'm already packing. That's a win-win.

That's a win-win.
This pretty Italian town is paying people $30,000 to move there
In Puglia, in the heel of Italy's boot, the beautiful town of Presicce is the latest to try to lure new residents by offering bargain property deals. It's paying people up to $30,000 to become a resident.

Our use of measurement units is messy.
Until 1979, gasoline was sold in imperial gallons (4.54L).
Today, as noted above, milk is sold today either in US gallons (3.78L) or in what I call a metric gallon (4L).
Large bottles of soft drinks / sodas come in 2L and 1L.
A "standard" aluminum can comes in two sizes depending on brand: 355ml (12 fl oz US) or 341ml (12 fl oz Imp).
But there's also some 330ml and 335ml (1/3L) sizes as well.
Sounds a bit like my sister, she always said she was five foot one and a half centimetres because she thinks it sounds bigger than five foot nothing.
I always loved the story behind the US Gallon. From the Boston Tea Party, people in the then colony rioted over the imposition of a 10% luxury import tax and started dumping ship's cargoes in to the harbour.
The British appeared to concede and repealed the tax but from that day forth sold the colonies gallons that were only 7 pints. So instead of getting the original 10% they had been after they were now profiting by an extra 12.5%.
Pieces of eight.

I'm 4 foot 11 inches lol
Wow, you're petite. I'm only 5'8" and 9 1/2 stones (133 pounds in any given morning weigh - in)
My wife is about 5'4" and 7 1/2 stone.
Wow, that's thin. It's a long time since I had to try and convert stones to Kilos. I'm the same 5'8" but my weight varies quite a lot. Any where between 65 Kilos and 85. (multiply by 2.2 to get pounds)
When I'm a bit depressed I gain weight. When I'm stressed I lose weight. Sometimes my weight changes are quite dramatic and raise a lot of eyebrows, I can drop 10 kilos in less than a month. I'm the most comfortable at around 72 Kilos but right now I'm around the 85 mark.
I would like to see you standing next to my cousin, He's 6 foot 9 inches and weighs 305 pounds...
Sometimes villagers chase him with pitchforks and torches. It's amazing how different we human beings can be.
I can nudge towards 10 stone but rarely. I am the same weight as the time I joined the armed forces in 1980, aged 19 years.
I've lost a good half inch in height since then
I know this by comparing my asthma clinic health check with my old 1980s identity card.New Threads
