I’m guessing that the 1.136 L comes from not wanting to change actual package size when switching to metric. Can’t be a coincidence that 1.136L is 2 imperial pints.
But yeah, no, chocolate bars are usually 50-60g. Which is also a thing, because they used to be 72g. I remember that number specifically because that’s two of your “ounces”, except on a second Tuesday during the ides of march when an ounce is like 85 grams. But only for red things. There’s a whole separate system for blue things.
Milk bottles in the supermarkets in the UK are now using weird sizes like 1.136l, because apparently that easier for some old cunt to read.

You really recognize these weirdly precise numbers in packaging.
355ml. 454g. 25.4mm.
Yeah, suuuuure your chocolate bar is precise to 3 sig figs…
12 fl oz, 1 pound, 1 inch for us Americans or those curious about the imperial system.
Also, are you buying a pound of chocolate?
Sometimes!
