Sometimes we see advertising obviously using metric-imperial conversions where one system was known by the copy writer. Any ideas on this product? Note the physical dimensions.

I did not even look at that aspect of them. With air being ~1.2 kg/m3(.04lb/ft3), perhaps those units should come with sandbags to prevent them from floating away. Or maybe there is some truth to lampies* being lightheaded.
Dimensionally correct,

( Always knew you were "lightheaded", André! )
I was thinking: Maybe they could load a bunch of those things on commercial airplanes, to reduce fuel consumption? Put them inside the wings, or something. should work wonders!
