One kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. The misconception that there are 1008 grams in a kilogram stems from estimation in the conversion process. 36 ounces is commonly used as a rough equivalent of a kilogram, and 3.5 grams is commonly used as a rough equivalent of 1/8 ounce.
"An eighth" (1/8 ounce) is a common unit used in buying and selling drugs. 1/8 ounce is equivalent to ≈3.54369, but digital scales rarely display decimals more precise than tenths, so an eighth ounce is treated as equivalent to 3.5 grams.
(3.5*8)*36=1008.

The "final ration from the Soviet State", the 7.62mm bullet from a Tokarev TT-33 or Mosin-Nagant m1895 Revolver. The bullet weighs nine grams, so to be given nine grams of lead from the Soviet State is to be shot by an officer. This phrase was coined by Soviet soldiers in world war II when failing to carry out your duty or any sign of cowardice meant being shot in the head by your officer or commissar.
Also has some use today in Ukrainian Mafia circles, where the 7.62x25mm bullet is still used.
