We have them but the stores advertising signs call them out as 16.9 oz, kinda silly as they sit next to the 2 L bottles.
Howard Ressel Project Design Engineer, Region 4 (585) 272-3372 >>> "Nat Hager III" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/13/04 11:16AM >>> These appeared in our area about 2 years ago, with 0.5 liter on one size and 16.9-whatever on the other. Within a year the 16.9 had disappeared, with 0.5 liter on both sides. Hopefully when the politicians get done with their antics in a couple more months, we can get on with amending FPLA and remove it completely.

In our Albertsons they are now selling only the 0.5 liter plastic bottles, this started recently, until then they had been the old 600 ml and the 375 ml. Dr Pepper is in the new size bottles. Interestingly the COKE bottles have 16.9 oz displayed prominently and in very small print in the back is 0.5 litres. These people are very careful with their changes to do it slowly and without drawing attention to the change, they should be applauded for getting metric so well. Now for the 355 ml can and they will be fully metric at the standard 375mL John Nichols BE, Ph.D. (Newcastle), MIE (Aust), Chartered Professional Engineer Assistant Professor Texas A&M University, Department of Construction Science Langford AC Rm: A414 MD 3137, College Station, TX 77843-3137 Aut viam inveniam aut faciam.
