While it may be true that they *may seem* to be moving in that direction I can still spot a *significant* number of products and "spin-offs" belonging to them which simply aren't. The best example is IAMS. Even though nearly ALL pet food packages in Canada are hard metric, these @$%^@#$$% continue to be completely off the stream with their mediocre 4 lb / 8 lb bags and the likes!
