What's hard to understand? It's 1/16 lb, except when it's fluid, then it's 1/10 of a cup, which is 1/2 of a pint, which is 1/2 of a quart, which is 1/4 of a gallon. There's a special measure that's half way between quart and gallon called handle, but it's only used for liquor.
it never costs more

They're both 16oz. It's the same price here. Store brand 1lb block is the same as store brand 1lb bag
Ounces are a volumetric measurement. Grated cheese is a large percent air.
Fluid Oz are, that's just regular 16 oz a lb ounces.
Damned American Imperial system. I will never understand you.

Excellent, of course. I was also taught "A pint's a pound the whole world around", which it is except when in some places it isn't.
That one's on :ukkk:.
Also different density of liquids. Using the same word for both a volume and mass is really dumb if it only converts for one thing.

I've never seen pre-grated cheese at less than a 30% markup.
