This is also true in Germany, they always display the cost/kg

    However in US, units themselves are not normalized. Some things are per $/oz, others per $/lb, or $/unit, sill others within a same category go by volume ($/floz, $/qt, $/gal...). It makes comparison a pain: I end up looking at the metric unit on the packaging and doing the mental calculation myself.

      Even in Germany it may vary between €/kg and €/100g for the same type of product. But at least that's easy to convert (just append/remove a 0) compared to switching between imperial units.

  I believe it's mandated in the EU/EEC?
