Here's a new one for those of you that follow metric usage on American
packaging: snacks by the metric ton.

I bought a box of "Screaming Yellow Zonkers" tonight at Walgreens
pharmacy - a "Crispy light butter-glazed popcorn snack!"

In the bottom right corner of both the front and back (both sides
identical) it has:
"NET WT. 4.25 OZ. (120g)
(ONE EIGHT THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED THIRTY THIRD
OF A METRIC TON)"

It was made in Lincoln, NE by Lincoln Snacks Company, Chicago.

I love their sense of humor!
