I bought another bag of those peanut M&Ms which are
listed as having a mass of 396.9 g. The last bag I bought weighed in at
405 g. This bag weighed in at 403 g. If all of the bags are over 400
g, then I see no reason for them to list the mass as 400 g instead of 396.9 g as
they do now.
If Joe Six-pack is going to be convinced that metric is
easier and he would be better off adopting it, he has to be shown by
examples. 396.9 g just doesn't set the right example. 400 g
would. That is why it is important to have products labelled in rational
sizes, or at least marked as such, especially when the product meets the
requirement.
