Hi, I remember that 30-40 years ago you could look on the bottom of a box of tissues and there was a conversion table. I think it was mainly imperial to metric. I am in Canada and so maybe it was something specific to Canada. I can’t find any evidence that it was an actual thing but it seems like a pretty strange false memory.
Can anyone confirm?
I hesitate to ask, but, conversion tables from what measurement to which other measurement?
Is there a standardized measure of snot in both metric and imperial?
Around 1977-80 there were a lot of metric conversion charts on many products or giveaways.
I think* I still have one or two of those old sliding metric converters that boat shows would give away. Supermarkets gave away kitchen conversion charts.
I don’t specifically recall tissue boxes. I think I remember one cereal box having a back panel devoted to said.
* I might have finally tossed them before the move. Now I just use my phone or Google.
Yes, I remember Metric conversion tables on the bottom of our Kleenex boxes. Also, my school exercise books had conversion tables on the back (and some had a colour picture of a guy fishing in wading boots on the front). It was probably just in Canada, though, eh ?
I don’t think we ever used those conversion tables for anything in school, we were just taught Metric directly while conveniently ignoring that we measured our bodyweight in pounds, etc.
