Yesterday in a K-Mart (in Washington DC Metro) store I
saw the tide detergent box. Its Made in Canada for
the NAFTA market and has instructions in English,
Spanish & French.
It has
"2 Kg" written in big font followed by
"some oz and pounds" in small font in the next line.
and in the same shelf, there are US made products for
the US market alone in which the
oz, pounds and kg's are in same font in the same line.
Its a very nice tactic to promote metric. If the
companies increase the font size of metric units
slowly over the years, people will switch over to it
smoothly.
Wish you all a Very Happy New Millinneum.
