... pick a uniform system in terms of unit measurement (British Imperial net weight) or (Metric net volume)?
Discuss!
PS. some explain to me why US companies measure items in net weight rather than net volume (example: a box of Hamburger Helper will say something to the effect of measured by net weight, not volume). |
