As it is clear that on EL products sold in the US the French OZ LIQ does not figure at all that unit is meant to popularize ifp trash in metric countries, even if they will never admit that. They use TWO different labels, one for the US market, the other for the market outside the US. This makes their objection about having to have more than one label invalid. That was their case. They claimed that they wanted to have only one label for all markets, with 'supplemental' units on them, which in fact are not supplemental at all but primary. As they have two different labels, the one for outside the USA could and should have been metric only. No way of course. Ifp takes pride of place with that French garbage attached. They make me violently sick.

But, it appears that the label contains only English and French. I don't see any reference to the "oz liq" in French, just the English "Floozys". I don't know if these products sold in other countries have the same label, or if they in fact have different language labels. If so, I wonder if the continue to use the FFU even if it doesn't make sense to do so. The reason they don't specify UK or US, is because they use an "ounce" that fulfils both. Since 30 mL is the larger of the three units, it is the one that has to be met. The end user isn't going to care if he/she is told they are getting 1 ounce and actually get a millilitre or two more. If they got less, then there would be problems. I wonder if the Euro price shown for the Irish Republic is the same in other countries as well. And if it does vary, I wonder by how much.

Line wrapping does not happen if you sent your post in "rich text" or html format. If you want to increase the chance of people clicking on the link and feel your effort to post the e-mail was worth your effort, then use html whenever you include a hyperlink in your posting. Most people don't know how to cut-and past the severed link in their browser, or if they do won't bother to make the effort. Thus your time and effort to post the link is wasted. For those that could not open the links before, I have converted the posting to html and reconnected the links. Now, you should be able to visit the sites.
