We're always told to read the label. Surprising what you might find, which makes one wonder about the accuracy of labels.
Check the figures at the bottom of Walmart's house brand ginger ale. Yes, there are 67.6 fluid ounces in two liters. Would have been better to put the "2L" before the parentheses.
But never mind. What is going on inside the parentheses? For the longest time now, 2 quarts has always meant 32 fluid ounces, not 3.6. I've tried to discover what was meant by 3.6, but so far the reference escapes me.
Well, maybe the decimal point was misplaced. But then we'd have to have "8" turn into "6" also.
Why doesn't the label read "2 liters (or 2.1 qts or 33.8 liq oz)."
Not very hard.
