I have a feeling many American explosives companies do their packaging in kilos, too. After all, they do sell to foreign markets.

The converse is not true, however. My wife buys many of her perfume-making supplies from foreign suppliers; she has to do all her purchasing in metric. Fortunately, most of that industry is converting to metric, so most of her "recipes" use grams and milliliters...

About 10 years ago, my wife bought me a bottle of Red for Men by Giorgio. Do they still make it?

I have been both English and metric since majoring in physics a few decades ago. I think that tsunami tidal waves should be measured strictly in feet and stellar distances in parsecs. That is my considered opinion and about as far as it goes.
