???  Big deal (really)!  Until one sees a move to
*rational* sizes this kind of event will only bring a
yawn from me.

I don't know about the previous bottle, but this
sounds a lot like keeping everything the same.  What I
mean is that for someone to get REAL excited about
this it would be paramount that *production processes*
be brought in line with the metric mainstream.

In other words, nothing really changed in the
landscape.

Finally, the answer to the question above is an
unquestionable NO!  There is NO MOVE WHATSOEVER by ANY
other competitor to "immitate" the above, therefore...
draw your own conclusions.

On the other hand, here is a suggestion.  Perhaps you,
guys, should complain to Breyers (ice cream producer)
about their recent invasion of the Canadian market
with ifp packages (hideous 1.89 L and 946 mL
containers)!  That would be time better spent.

But then again what am I still doing here?  Last time
I wrote I had said that I had given up...

Anyways... I think I should spend my time better by
doing something else, for a change...
