Soft metric is when everything is converted from imperial to metric. So for example: cereal will come in something like 753-gram box, beer comes in a 341-ml. bottle, butter is 454 grams etc. It is confusing and it makes us functionally incompetent when it comes to measuring things and in comparison-shopping. We even had a passenger jet fall out of the sky due to this type of confusion.
