All this talk recently (e.g.. see below) got me curious, so as I was going
shopping anyway today I picked up these 2 M&M packs so you can see the
labels - too bad you can't taste them! See www.m-ms.com.au for info.

I thought I'd look around this giant store and see how many references to
FFUs I could see, but had a hard time finding any. I eventually found a few
items in the international section where some imported jams and chocolates
had ozzies and flozzies in brackets.

I noticed that Australian producers don't put a space between the unit name
and quantity, but some UK producers do.

I was in the store again today and saw a display for M&M's Christmas
candies.  The package size was 14 oz 396.9 g.  It seems that no matter what
size it is in FFU, the metric conversion is always something point nine
(xxx.9)  I find this strange.  I wonder what Mars Products is trying to
prove with this.
