2002-06-09 When I was in M�xico the last week of May, I noticed what appeared to be new road signs showing kilometres as Km instead of km. I saw Km in Venezuela when I was there last year. The K must be considered correct in many areas.
BTW, Jim, is the 1.5 kg alone, or is there an FFU equivalent that you might have omitted? What is the name of this company out of Boston that manufactures this ice tea? Or is Stop & Shop the name of the company as well as the store you were in? We use t have some Stop & Shop stores in the Cleveland area, but they had no connection with any other Stop & shops that exist elsewhere. I wonder what other products they may manufacture in rational metric sizes.
