[USMA:25004] Pepsi Products

[kilopascal]

2003-03-02   I was in two stores today both featuring Pepsi products.  In the one store, Wal-Mart, there was a aisle display offering various half-litre 12 pack plastic bottles for 3.98 $.  Yet, you would never know it was a half-litre.  The plastic wrap holding the 12 bottles together was marked in large print:16.9 oz bottles.   There was no mention of 500 mL except as a secondary declaration on each bottle.   At the other store, Pepsi was advertising its 24 oz bottles.  They were advertising 3 packs (6 bottles per pack) for 4.00 $.  What was odd was the display sign that said in big print:  7 oz more than half-litre size.   It does seem that even if Pepsi produces some metric sizes they like to advertise them as FFU.   Anyone else experience this?       John
