I'll try to remember to take a look the next time I'm in Ralph's or Raley's.

By the way, Trader Joe's sells their own mineral water in 1 L bottles.
However, they give the volume in pints and fluid ounces first, fluid
ounces-only second, then SI in parentheses. I guess they have no conception
of how silly that looks for something that is exactly 1 L.

Subject: [USMA:18649] Ventura Von's


Just back from business in S. California, specifically a conference in
Ventura.  Wandering next door to a Von's supermarket one evening, I noticed
all the liquor labeled with "Price per Litre" tags on the shelves (note
"Litre" spelling).

Some of the wine was also labeled "Price per Litre", while some was labeled
"Price per Ounce".  I don't know whether this means Von's is changing, but I
saw the same thing at at least one other Von's in the S. California area.

Maybe Bill has seen this in Northern Calif?

Nat

PS I also noticed 500 ml 7-up and Dr. Pepper.
