Well I don't think it's actually infinite, but yeah the example units on this article are kind of strange. Packs of butter?

Infinite? Hard to say.

But yes, why use "packs of butter" as a unit? I mean, what size pack? Pounds? Kilos? Pats?

Edit: OK, 250 gm packages, standard in the UK, and generally outside the US.
