Why does America insist on measuring things in feet, pounds, and gallons while the rest of the world uses meters, kilos, and liters? In this episode of Croatian/American, Gaj and Cody weigh the differences—literally—and explore the quirks of the imperial and metric systems. From historical roots to political resistance (did Reagan really abolish a metric council?), they unpack why Americans cling to these units. Cody defends cups in recipes and gallons of gas, while Gaj laments confusing conversions and shares a Croatian perspective. They cover Fahrenheit's oddities, metric mishaps like the Mars Orbiter crash, and Fox News’ wild take on the metric system. With laughs and fun facts, they ask: should Croats bother learning the imperial system, or just let Americans keep their inches?
