Check the message sequence below, my original message only said "Have seen many hard metric bottles but this is the first metric drink can I have seen. Maybe its a trend..." and included the pictures. It was someone else who resounded to me that discussed oz.
You do make a good point though and I will try to remember it.

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.

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).
