This is a pretty cheesy story, Brian.
I guess they're not such gourmets, who I would think would be fluent in
metric.
What would happen if you demanded the rest of the product? The other
276.723 kg they said they were providing? Good thing it wasn't
Limburger!
I wonder how many people who are NOT interested in metrication, but are
alert to the error, will contact them.
