Have you noticed the twilight zone of bottled water measures?!
Have you noticed the twilight zone of bottled water measures?
I am trying to get my recommended amount of water intake. So there I was, proudly honoring my body with a bit more than 10 glasses a day, accordingly to the information on the label on a bottle marked as containing 16.9 fl oz, when I got tired of those little bottles whose caps you have to twist to open and to close.
So I go to buy a bigger bottle with a sporty cap, and I find that an obviously larger and wider bottle was marked at 7.7 fl oz... I freak out thinking I might have been consuming just half of the amount of the desired water... thus, I try to think I'm in front of a missinforming label, and maybe the information on milimeters would be my answer, but the 7.7 fl oz bottle read 700 ml, and the 16.9 fl oz bottle read 500 ml.
I went home and checked, how much water from one bottle would go into the other one, thinking it might be a bit more than a 50% of the bigger bottle space left empty, but the water went up to the third quarter of the bottle.
What's up with that!
Answers:
it probably only looked like a third. it was probably just under 50%. What i don't understand is how a 7.7 fl oz bottle said 700 ml and the other one had 500 ml. There's something confusing goin on.
some things are just crazy
maybe a typo..?
ml is always the way to go.
just use the same bottle. there's no point in paying a buck a bottle for something you can find in a hole in the ground.
i don't know why the lablemaking people suck so much, but it's everywhere.
