(Sorry if this is a repost -- I never saw the first one come through.)

Shopping in Middletown, New York, came across a couple more metric-sized
products:
tea bags    Boston Tea Company (New Jersey)   50 g, 100 g, 125 g
hot sauce   Ashman (Virginia) (bourbon & chipotle)   200 mL

The first (tea bags) is already shown under the generic section of the
USMA consumer products page, and there were several flavors and sizes.
I also came across a very nice 500 mL measuring cup from a German company,
with no colloquial units. It had only milliliters on it, but the units
were labeled "ML/CCM". So, apparently even people in countries that have
been metric for a long time cannot get the symbols right. Which makes me
question how critical such exactness of usage is in the first place.
