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!

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.
