I don't believe the fluid ounce (once liquide) can be attributed to Estee Lauder. It has been used in the Anglo-American kitchens for generations. The typical measuring cup for cooking contains 16 ounces (referred to as fluid ounces when necessary to distinguish them from dry ounces and ounces of mass). Many liquid and semi-liquid products are dols in the US by the ounce (fluid ounce).
