When I was in Calgary last year, all the foods in the deli counters were
priced per hundred grams with no FFU equivalents.  The only things I saw
priced per pound with kilograms in tiny font, was things like apples and
potatoes.  Yet, they items were pre-packaged and you could not actually
specify the weight.  You bought the whole pack or nothing.  So, the pound
pricing was kind of meaning less.

Calgary seems to be more metric then Toronto.  In Toronto, one finds the 591
mL version of the Colas.  In Calgary, they do have the 600 mL variety.
