[USMA:34331] metric drink cans

[john mercer]

Hello I would like to say something about metric drink containers either bottles or cans. In Canada soft drink bottles are labelled 591 ml. If soft drink bottles in the states were labeled 600 ml how many people do you think in the real world would complain about creaping metrication. I want to say on this site i get a little tired of people saying that Americans are anti metric. If you walked down the street and asked the average person what does he or she feel about the states going metric probably a lot of people would say i never even think about it. I also feel that Americans can adapt to change just the same as well as any other nation on earth. Otherwise America would not be the super power she is. Remember there are a lot of people in the states that use metric every day in their work. Yes it isn't in the public eye but it's there.  Also if metric only  labeling were allowed on products i don't think there would be as many people oppose it as some think. A lot of people when they buy a package of something just buy the small or large package and don't look at the amount in the package weather it's in ounces grams or both. I maybe wrong but i think that's the real world. Again if i am wrong i stand corrected. John Mercer.
