This is what I was writing about the other day. Why should an American
company ever consider going metric, when they can easily have an FFU
product made in a metric country (China) in FFU and sell it in FFU in
Spanish speaking countries. There are thousands of countries like this.
No wonder the TABD is fighting the EU. The EU is the only area of the
world making an issue about metric. No one else really is. The fact is,
the world would abandon metric and adopt US units if the US tries hard
enough. And the way some of these companies do business, they are
succeeding in supplanting metric with FFU.
For every little drop of metric we see here, there is a flood of FFU going
the other way.

I don't think that product is for other countries, but rather for the large
Spanish-speaking population in the USA. I see a lot of that around here. I
also see a lot of French, so things can be exported to Quebec. On those, the
English is FFU and the French is SI.
