    Isn’t it also because they would use the same units but undercut the American buyers or something? Same why a pint isn’t a pint?

      The pints thing actually has the same cause as I was talking about above: The British standardized around the Elizabethan ale gallon, while America used the Queen Anne wine gallon.
