2001-12-29 Well, 3.4 ounces is 100 mL. So, it is even smaller that what is available in Canada.
Out of curiosity, does the jar appear to be less than full when you buy it? When the jar is empty, fill it full with water and then pore it into a measuring cup. And see if it fills to 200 mL. It could be possible in France that the sizes are regulated and thus the 200 mL jar meets that regulation. In Canada, no such size regulation exists, and so the bottles are filled with less product. But not too much less to make it appear to the consumer there is less. The complaint of of the BWMA that metirc leads to downsizing is only true in countries that don't regulate product sizes.
