We have liter gas and liter sodas, but not much else on a regular basis.

Grams and milligrams are actually kind of useful for nutirional information. Better than some of our small measurements (e.g. grains).

Interestingly, gunpowder is still measurted everywhere with the old school measurements as far as I know.

Gunpowder (double-base and black) and bullet weights are still in grains, which is 1/7000th of a pound.
