    For those who are unfamiliar with the Imperial mile, a 1/4 mile is about 3.15 ounces.
    In metric 1/4 km would be 250 meters, because metric makes sense, and k means thousand, and a quarter of a thousand is… TADA 250! Go figure.
    In Imperial 1/4 mile isn’t 250 anything, or any other round number of any unit that would make sense, because imperial is stupid, making any conversion a chore. Yet some people keep using it because reasons?
