A few years ago in Southern California supermarkets, a local bottled-water
company (Hinckley Waters, if memory serves me correctly) had a line of
bottled waters marketed with pictures of infants and toddlers on the label
(water for kids?? like that's going to be a different kind of water??!!).
Those bottles of water were 4 L in size. I have not seen those bottles in
several years, so I wonder why they pulled them off the market? After all,
being a four-litre bottle would have meant that they were offering more
product to the consumer.

Subject: [USMA:14217] 4L water?
Just saw what looked like 4 Liter Dannon spring water at the supermarket. It
was a short squatty version of the 2 Liter soda bottle, perfectly round
clear plastic with a small handle on top. It was unfortunately labeled 3.78
L, but then I remember seeing a competing brand a couple months ago that was
labeled 4 L or "Gallon Plus".
I checked to see if it was a underfill and noticed it wasn't, but then
thought - heck, this is *WATER* we're talking about, even the most tightwad
bean counters aren't going to worry about giving away 220 ml of water.
So it may be another hidden metric, anyone seen anything similar?
