We call them "Flounces" actually.

I've chosen to read it as "fluid ounces" for years, never once questioning "how is a fluid ounce different from a regular one?".

Fluid ounce is a measure of volume (8 fluid ounces per cup) ounces is a unit of weight (16 ounces per pound)

measures your solids in fluid ounces

The most confusing part of this to me is having this feeling of only remembering seeing floz on orange juice boxes, so it could have been Florida for all I knew. Thanks for the clarification that I'm only going partially insane!
