I also grew up near the Canada-US border and most, if not all items had both imperial and metric units on the label...not sure if it is like that elsewhere in the States.

Actually I've noticed that many items do have imperial and metric units on labels and I'm as far south as Texas (although admittedly this could be because of close proximity to Mexico).

For example, when I was young and mischievous back in high school, my friends and I would go buy 3 L bottles of Coke from Wal-Mart, shake them up and heat them up and then drop them from a high place (usually the roof of the school) and watch them shoot up 5 bajillion (non-metric  :D) feet in the air.

Yes...there's not much to do here for fun.
