To be clear, this is a jab at the copious amount of sugar that companies throttle down our throats. It’s a critique of big companies.

    Why are you so upset about having to move the decimal point a single place to get your preferred output?

    I could see this reaction from someone using freedom units, but it’s just over the top for a sane measurement system.

      You misunderstand my reaction. g per 100g is already a established unit that is used everywhere that is a rounding error equivalent to 0.1g/L as you mentioned. So it’s nonsensical to introduce another more confusing measuring unit.

      I also interpreted it as some American playing around with metric units while ignoring already established conventions so I went a little bit extra for emphasis, although it might have come out as rude, sorry.
