In addition, actually, the real danger of totally deregulating rational sizes is for US powerful industries to market stupid sizes of the ilch of 591 mL, 341 mL, 454 g and other idiocies. If these become *THE norm* among competitors what we will witness is a hidden win from ifp companies to impose its mediocrity of *rational* ifp sizes onto the metric public.
This would evidently be a complete disaster as, guess what(?), their next strategy to counteract the whiners would be: Oh, you don't like 454 g? Wonderful, please let me make it simple then for you, how about you allow me to market it to you as a nice, round, easy 1 lb??? A resounding NO! I would NEVER fall for that or allow that to happen. Never, never, N-E-V-E-R!!! And there is NO rational argument in the world that would EVER convince me that there is "wisdom" (SIC) in using such ridiculous package sizes! Alas...
