Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

As a German I have to ask... why? It's just sad at that point

Basically everything mandated by the government is Metric, so any official labeling (like on roads or foods) and it's what we are taught in school. But we are in a transitionary phase in terms of whats passed on through family and social interactions. And that period is extended by trade with the US leading to lots of things still having both imperial and metric measurements, or in the case of weather, I grew up on the border listening to Detroit news.
