Found the Brit! As an American I’d never heard the “lots of __” phrasing until I watched Numberblocks (a British show) with my kid…

Pharmaceuticals and other manufactured goods are sometimes referred to in 'lots' meaning a batch.

> Numberblocks

We don't live in the UK but our kids watch Numberblocks.

Our youngest started rattling off all kinds of number stuff which I know for sure she hasn't yet encountered in school.

Me: Wow ... how do you know that?

Her: Numberblocks!

Me: Umm ... OK!

I've never watched Numberblocks, but I do like to watch a good game of Numberwang!
