Went to the local Safeway last night to buy shampoo and noticed all of the rational metric labelling on the Proctor and Gamble products. Yes, U.S. Customary units are listed first followed by SI in parentheses, but the pre-positioning by P&G of 750 mL and similar rational product sizes is quite obvious.
Now all we need is the amended FPLA and P&G and strip away the U.S. Customary units on their labels in a heartbeat. Having an industry leader like P&G ready to go metric is a huge plus for moving prepackaged goods sold in grocery stores to (some day!) 100% metric. Ezra
