can't think of any positive benefits that Estee Lauder might gain from their
strange behaviour.


One other possible reason may be that the packages are designed by marketing
people who are not very well educated in measurement, and thus they simply
don't notice the inconsistencies.  As others have pointed out, at least many
of the products are in hard metric packages.

Of somewhat greater concern to me is why Suave is selling some products with
no metric on the labels at all.  I think I will drop them a note mentioning
it.
