Me, too. This insatiable curiosity gets me into trouble sometimes.
It's weird because they TEACH us the metric system, we USE it in science classes and yet... I do agree, it's so much freaking easier that they have got to be holding onto it out of stubborn pride at this point. Although, my glass measuring cups (for liquids) and one set of my measuring spoons all have the metric equivalents on them, so I'm sort of prepared?
OOOH! And you'll love this. There's a button on the steering wheel where I can switch between mph and kph I guess in case I drive into Canada or something. Anyway, I glanced down at my speedometer the other day and it said I was going 104! I about had a heart attack until I realized it no longer was registering in miles but kilometers. God, I thought I was going to get pulled over for going nearly 40 MPH over the speed limit. Hahaha.
LOL — gotta love it when a paywall or giving up our anonymity ruins our curiosity.
Crossing my fingers that it is true!
We've been hearing things like that for the last year and i don't doubt it's happening. I've noticed prices creeping up here and there and it's just insane. Glad it wasn't your store though.
I think it's interesting to see what others have searched for though because we all have our reasons, no matter how weird something sounds.
