A Pyrex bowl at the grocery store was advertised on its paper insert as "4 qt/3.77 L". I looked at the bottom, where letters are embossed into the glass. "4 L". I have other Pyrex bowls at home that say 1 L, 1.5 L, etc. Wonder why they had to falsify the amount on the paper insert.

The package said it holds "1.1 quart 1 liter". The bottom of the thermos itself is similarly marked. I figured that measured up so I bought it. Jim -- James R.
