Wow an old topic, But I have been pondering this....

1 gallon in the US is equal to .833 gallons in the UK
This is due to the fact that Americans measure liquid in Quarts and it takes 4 quarts to make a US gallon (for Steve, Dark, & Kakoi that is the same as making 2 packs of kool-aid) Now a UK gallon is measured in Liters and so it stands that 4 liters makes a UK gallon. So a US gallon is bigger.
Now for your homework from Mr. Wizard take a 2 liter of soda & and a empty milk jug and see how many times you have to fill the soda bottle up before the milk jug is full. I bet it's more than 2...
Oh and I bet I could drink a gallon of milk in half hour if I take about four lactaid acid pills first (and no I am not allergic to dairy products)
