> > I notice it most when things here by chance are done in metric, but the units still aren't converted. E.g. I might see something listed at 1000mL, instead of just writing 1L. Or 3500g instead of 3.5kg.
> I see things like this constantly in shops in Europe. I think it is part of a dark pattern to make price comparisons less intuitive and even misleading if you just skip over the prices trying to find the cheapest.
It doesn't really matter though, as conversion is so easy and automatic.
Meanwhile in the US, if I want to determine which product has more fat, my butter lists nutrition per tea spoon, my milk by the cup, my yogurt by 3/4 of a cup, another butter per 100g, yet other products per 24 ounces.
Honestly I don't know if anybody is able to extract useful information from those comparisons, without pulling out a calculator in the super market.
