Yes, Switzerland is weirdly obsessed with centilitres, not sure why. But it's metric so it's not a big deal.
Yes.
We have cl on a lot of stuff here too, in northern Europe. And many recipes use deciliters! Love deciliters! Metric is fun! And as a small side rant, honestly cups can go to hell, worst way to measure for a recipe! Liquids, sure if you must, but flour and sugar needs to be by weight goddammit!
Because deciliters is proper metric notation. We don't count large distances in millimeters.
