Of course then when you ask how tall a bicycle is they'll tell you it's about as tall as a deer. Damn useless

You might have noticed. It's kind of our thing, doing things differently from the rest of the world for no good reason.

Different measuring system

Different cars

Different health care system

Different social ethics

Different system of government

Very few trains

We're just a bunch of silly dumbasses here.

To be fair: if anyone's going to intuitively know the weight of 800 hamburgers, Americans are it. :)

Also, I'm not entirely opposed to using "every day" analogies for stuff like this.

Yeah they even named their official weight measurement after the quarterpounder hamburger
