Nobody in the U.S. knows how much 20 grams is. Please include U.S. measures in all articles. If you use metric measures only, AOL should never link to your website.

The article clearly says, "They weigh around 20 grams (.7 ounces),".

Lots of Americans (baby-boomers) know how much a Gram is, and a 'Kilo'. Kudos for your particular innocence on these matters.
Science / Armpit-check (do-figures-make-sense check NASA) Lesson: A Gram is about the weight of a paper dollar bill. 28 grams plus a smidgen; as in the number of days in the month of February, make up an ounce. The Kilogram is about two lbs.
These are rule of thumb approximations; should you be caught with contraband in Taiwan Airport the fudge factors could make you the difference between life worse then death, and death.
