One I really like is Listerine  1.5 Liters (1 qt 1 pt 2.7 fl oz).  Great
labelling!

I recently saw a product in the aisle for women's toiletries that is
packaged in hard metric with the metric indication (500 mL) listed first.
Sorry I can't remember the product or manufacturer. But it seems quite clear
that more and more manufacturers are moving to hard metric packaging in
anticipation of permissive legislation that allows metric-only labelling. 

What a shame (per James Frysinger's recent posting) that we can't see the
metric-only amendment to the FPLA before 2005!

Subject: [USMA:27693] Another metric product

I noticed today, while helping my wife prepare our Thanksgiving dinner,
that the two bags of macadamia nuts we purchased locally are both hard
metric:
Macadamia nuts, honey roasted
     MacFarms of Hawaii    100 g

Macadamia nuts, roasted & salted
     MacFarms of Hawaii    100 g

Both are products of the USA, made in Captain Cook, Hawaii. They list the
colloquial equivalent as 3.53 oz, so clearly are not just rounding from
3.5 oz.
The first lists the serving size as 1 oz/28 g, with 6-1/2 servings per
package, apparently just a typo. The other lists it as 1/4 cup/32 g with 3
servings per package.
