On the strict legal point, this is my understanding: The FPLA only applies to products supplied in commerce. If a promotion is free then it does not constitute commerce. If a promotion must be bought then it does. Whether a manufacturer wants to have different packaging is a different matter. Incidentally, small size cans have been common on aircraft for many years. I also see them in hotel bedroom mini bars. I have never thought to check the range of sizes in a variety of countries. -- Terry Simpson Human Factors Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.connected-systems.com Phone: +44 7850 511794
