Check out seeds.  like for vegetables and the like.  American companies usually, but they are sold in grams...only.  No ounces or anything to be found...just grams.   I like it.

Until you turn the seed package around and they tell you to plant in 6 inch blah blah blah....

In a local hardware store, somewhat surprisingly:

Frogtape paint masking tape in 24, 36 or 48 mm x 55 m rolls.

Gorilla adhesive tape in same 48 mm width. I think the Frogtape roll
mentioned inches in real small print.

I wonder why not 50 mm, which would be about two inches.
