The only thing I’ll defend here is cylinder, because we actually all get our salt in cylinders, so it’s a legitimately useful comparison in this one specific instance
It’s an American. Ld50 is in g/kg. Quarts are our magic bullshit, but idk why they used it vodka is in fifths and handles (750mL/1.5L respectively). Table salt comes in a standard cylindrical container consisting of about enough to kill every other person that weighs 10.7 stone.
gms? Wtf.
gram [g]
I propose g/kg body weight.
That doesn’t look right
Ugh, at least I’ve heard of that
Was this chart made by a mediaeval apothecary?
Alright, what the fuck‽

I’m guessing a fifth is like a fifth of a gallon, but handles‽
You are correct. A handle is double that. It’s big enough the bottle has a handle on it
Seems like a perfectly cromulent unit of measurement
Most LD50 measurements are listed as mg/kg.
My first thought was gram times second times meter per kilogram xD
