Did they really say that?

mbarkerJust a tiny little quirk in an advertisement we saw recently. See, they were talking about how much of something this wonderful drink has in it, and they said it has 10,000 mg.
I laughed, because if I remember correctly, mg stands for milligrams. So I think 1,000 mg is just one gram. 10,000 mg really means ten grams. A lot easier to say, although I guess it doesn't sound quite as impressive. Our drink has ten grams of good stuff, or our drink has 10,000 mg of good stuff? Which one sounds more impressive to you?
Me, I'm avoiding the whole question by not drinking that healthy drink, but . . .
