I think Procter & Gamble is definitely carrying out a metrication program.
The 855 g, 2 kg and 3 kg packages of Tide detergent tablets are still being
sold at the local Fred Meyer store.
Tonight I not only saw the Tide packages, but also a new batch of Pringles
potato chips. The single cans have English/Spanish labels with the contents
given as: 170 g (6 oz.). The "170 g" has the proper spacing and is printed
in a more bold, ~25% larger font than the ounce declaration. The double
packs are in the NAFTA trilingual format, and their contents are also listed
in the BOLD SI (wombat) format. Judging from what I'm seeing, I'd say that
P&G is in the process of getting Americans used to seeing (eventually)
SI-only labeling.
