I have seen the new 2 kg Tide boxes of tablets more and more in the shops.
In one store they occupied an end of Aisle display. Yet, the in store ad
showed them as 4.41 lb size instead of the 2 kg size.
In the detergent aisle, I noticed something very dumb. A box of SURF and a
box of ALL powder detergents were labelled as 2 lhs. 3 oz.. (0.99 kg). Now,
isn't this ridiculous? What is so hard about labelling it as 1 kg? And I'm
sure it is 1 kg. This is the nonsense that turns of consumers to metric.
And, both of these boxes are labelled in French and Spanish as well as
English. These people need to be written to.
Glückliches Neues Jahr!
Happy New Year!
John
Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrtümlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
