      We may be the minority, but many of us Americans prefer the metric system.

      Ease of conversion and relationship with calories aside, have you ever tried measuring small SI machine screws? Calipers run decimal, not fractions. You can’t compare them without math or memorization. It’s a pain in the ass.

      How do you get the pelt off of an energy drink can, though?

        A surprising lot of them are re-skinned, actually, so that’s a legit thing. Depending on your definition of pelt.

        Lots of cans that were printed for discontinued lines, or printed before a label change, have plastic sleeves over the can to re-brand them, even when the label on the old and new is identical…

    What energy drink is shaped like that?? Maybe the diameter is similar, but no way it’s the size of a whole can.

        “Size of a nice rice ball” would have been more appropriate. Maybe if you tried flattening a 5 hour?

          Texans do not know what a riceball is.

          The American localization of Pokemon in the 1990s calling onigiri (triangular riceballs) doughnuts has become one of the most infamous in-jokes in Anime.

      Well, you can have a funnel cloud, but it’s not a tornado until the condensation funnel touches the ground, and it’s not always clear what the case is until proper surveying is done.
