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.
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
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
