I remember that! I wrote to them, asking why they did that, and the answer was that consumers had complained about how, when inserting the straw into the juice box, juice would squirt out of the straw, making a mess. Sounds pretty lame to me. I think they're just anti-metric.

The bottle versions are still 1.89 L or 946 ml and don't show any signs of changing. Even bottled water now comes in more litre sizes than ever. I believe the only holdout there is the 3.78 L jug.

Mott's Apple Juice a while ago changed the 250 mL box to an "8 oz" box. No explanation and no answer from an e-mail I sent. It's possible they kept the same size box and just filled it less in order to hide a price increase, claiming that this size is what the "American People Want."
