When it is at last permitted, metric-only labeling in the US
would force the metric system to be featured in US advertising, and thus, force it to
be experienced by the public. While grocery shopping yesterday, I noticed that a 500
ml bottle of drinking water was being promoted with a sign saying it is "16.9 fl.oz.".
If the bottle were labeled in metric only, then advertising would also "go metric".
