I agree with Jim. In Canada our *Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act* requires a metric statement of quantity, but not a *rational* size. Paint used to be sold in 4.55 L (1 imperial gallon) cans. Now paint cans have shrunk to 3.79 L (1 American gallon), but this enables Canadian paint to be sold in the USA by a mere change of label. I am not aware of there having been any protest about the change since paint is not a size-dependent product.
