Wegmans here no longer sells metric milk either. I have not asked as to why but I can fathom a guess.

See the other products in this group: http://www.campbellsoup.com/our_brands.asp This is interesting as none of the other products in the Campbell's Soup group off any rational SI products. Let's hope Pepperidge Farm use of metric will spread to the other divisions. What other Pepperidge Farm products are in metric? Has anyone noticed? BTW, I was in the neighbourhood Super K-mart today. They were the one's selling the 3 L milk. Not any more. They must have switched suppliers. They now sell only gallons and half-gallons. The former supplier was Weggmanns, now it is Dairyman's. The failure of the 3 L milk carton to catch on was it was used by only one supplier and was over priced. This goes to show you that the slow approach really does not work. Those few that become trend-setters often find themselves alone and eventually back-off or disappear. In the long term, progress is non-existent. The drips and drops evaporate and the status-quo remains. What will it take for us to understand that only a planned metrication will work? I guess we have to wait until someone important dies from a drug overdose and the government forces or we lose so much of our manufacturing base to metric countries that we will have no choice but to use metric as that will be the only system products will be made in. Dumb and getting dumber!
