About Fluid Ounce (fl oz)
A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to 1/128 of a US gallon (about 29.57 mL). Fluid ounces are the standard unit on US beverage containers, shampoo bottles, cooking recipes, and cocktail recipes — a standard US soda can is 12 fl oz, a large Starbucks drink is 20 fl oz, and most cocktails call for 1.5 fl oz of spirits. Easy to confuse with the Imperial fluid ounce (~28.41 mL) used in the UK, though the difference is small enough that it rarely matters for everyday use.
About Tablespoon (tbsp)
A US culinary unit of volume equal to 1/16 of a US cup, or 3 teaspoons (about 14.79 mL). Tablespoons are the standard unit for small-quantity cooking measurements: butter, oil, herbs, sauces, and dressings. Nutrition facts panels on US foods often quote "per tablespoon" serving sizes (e.g., peanut butter, maple syrup). Note that the Australian tablespoon is 20 mL (not 15 mL), which can cause measurement issues when converting international recipes.
