Howard:
I'm really surprised to see you, of all
people, citing the U.S. customary volume measure as oz.
It's fl.oz.
We're sticklers for the correct units and
symbols for our favored system (SI). Let's be consistent when we give examples
of the ancient units.

-----Original Message-----I wonder about this myself. I see a bit of wiggle room in the conversion (23.5oz=695mL or 700mL=23.7oz), so maybe their 8.3oz (245mL) drinks are really 250mL, and their 42oz (1.24L) Total Trim punch is really 1.25L. The first two, at least, could be considered fairly oddball sizes for USC. The rest of Arizona Beverages' offerings are solidly customary (16oz, 20oz, 1gal).
