Here in the UK I see more and more places (coffee shops modelled after Starbucks mostly I guess) and places serving soft drinks mention them in ounces and I have no idea what they mean. I’m 99% sure it’s illegal to do so as well, but the relentless march of USI continues.
Ah, so that’s what 16oz means.

Its illegal if its US customary floz. Needs to be British imperial floz along side metric unless its for certain products (milk, beer etc)
It’s pretty easy to convert mentally using the Beer Standard, where 12 fl oz = 355 mL.
For added confusion, pints are different sizes on either side of the pond too
Would you rather have a liter of cola?
I don’t want a large Farva
I’d rather have 2
If I had to have cola I’d probably prefer 250ml or 330ml depending whether I was sitting at a table or climbing a hill.
