I have a bottle of water on my desk. I've long since peeled off the label, and I wanted to add some drink mix to the water, but I wasn't sure how much water the bottle held. I also didn't want to pour it all out into a measuring cup. So after thinking for a few seconds, I headed to the mailroom and got my answer.

Why?

Multiple guess answers: :) you weighed it in the mail room thereby determining how much water is in the bottle.

There is a water vending machine located in or through or near the mail room and it's the same exact shape bottle so reading those labels would tell you the amount of water.

Ribbit!

Somebody else in the mail room has the same bottles therefore you figured you'd ask them the volume from their label.
