Have Yet to Master the Metric System
Not that it would be that hard...we're just lazy!
But there are times when it would pay off. Like now.
We bought garbage bags, but our mainstay brand was out of stock. So, we bought "Container Hoezen". 10 stuks. 119 x 134 cm. Inhoud 240 liter.
Nevermind that we could have at least roughly estimated that 119 x 134 cm is about 4 FEET by 4.5 FEET. And the liters? Well, since 240 liters does not compute, we figured that "Inhoud 240 liters" was for all 10 stuks. So each bag was 24 liters. Perfect.
Or not. We now have ten of the biggest, largest, hugest garbage bags known to man. Bigger than leaf bags. Bigger than our garbage cans. And we got a big laugh out of it.
Dan says, "Well, they'll come in handy we we move." I suppose they will.

Use them for ponchos?
The 240 liters probably refers to each bag. I think Jim is right about the garbage bags being used for ponchos.
