I live in Canada we use ml and nobody orders beer in ml.

5 grams of sugar? Nobody knows what that means.

They know what 5 tea-spoons is though.

I'll be $100 that if they put 'teaspoons of sugar' instead of grams, people would be shocked. There are videos showing how much sugar in a can of Coke, and it's largely because people are oblivious to the units on the label, which we can all technically read.
