Actually 7 airplane bottles equal 350 ml (50ml each) which equals almost 1/2 a 5th (750ml). A 5th is 3/4 of a liter (1,000ml). A liter is 33.8 ounces, a quart is 32 ounces. 350ml is the equivalent of 11.3 ounces or nearly 1.5 pints or slightly more than 1/3 of a quart. Anyway you measure it, 7 airplane bottles will last you a bit more than 1/2 way through a cross country flight. But no matter, you'll likely sleep the rest of the way or become belligerent and get yourself duct taped to your seat for the rest of the flight and then being met at your destination by a group of irritable TSA agents and ultimately end up on the no fly list for the rest of your life. Since Calvert is a Canadian brand, the guy would have been better off with 7 airplane bottles of good old Jack Daniels and not have to be duct taped to his seat. Thus ends this year's liquid conversion math lesson and with it the hope that Fran hasn't hopelessly tangled her thinking process. Next year we'll delve into the conversion aspects of why the rooster crossed the road and how much weight he lost in the process. <g>
