Help!

Baking in Canada is exceedingly frustrating at times. Most of the recipes I find give measurements in ounces, frex 10oz can condensed milk. Which is fine except the products sold here don't give me a measurement in ounces, we have mililiters. Which is annoying to convert but ok. Now is where we get to the part where I need help. Does anyone know if a "16 oz can of maraschino cherries" is in fl. oz, or regular ounces? My can is in mililiters, a volume measurement. It matters weight or volume because the conversion is different, unless it's water, then it's pretty close.

Who decided having the same unit for weight and volume was a good idea? Confusing imperial system...

It's usually safe to assume that if one system is measuring in fluid units so is the other, even if it isn't specified. Convert from fluid oz to milliliters and you should be fine.
