Who ever thought that Doris Day's song would impact the saying, 'I love you a bushel and a peck'.
I did a little research on what a bushel and a peck was and came up with: A US bushel is a measure of dry volume and equals approximately 35 litres, or 8 dry gallons. An Imperial bushel equals approximately 36 litres, or 8 Imperial gallons. A peck is also a measure of dry volume and equals 8 dry quarts in both the US and Imperial systems. There are 4 pecks in a bushel.

Kinda funny if you think about that way, 'I love you by 8 pounds and 8 quarters'.
Really, I'm pretty sure the song means I love you more than anything.
