      Don’t know if you’re joking or not, but to anyone actually curious “fluid ounce” its the volume of 1 ounce of water (or wine, not all fluid ounces are the same since because not all ounces are the same).

      It’s a florida ounce. Takes its roots in the cocaine industry of Miami in the 1980s.

      A florida ounce is approximately equal to about 25g of mass (on earth), or 25mL of volume.

      This is different from the imperial or US ounce, which is about equal to 28g or 29mL.
