Ezra,
Yes I agree, that's a very good goal. I don't think the public would mind
the least if 2 Liter soda lost there "67.6" designation, and the bottlers
would probably welcome it in the interests of simplifying labeling. From
there you gradually expand outward, including mouthwash, shampoo, bottled
water, etc.
The problem is getting someone to sponsor it, I don't know how you do that.
As usual the Feds are way behind the curve on this one.
