Considering that another juicemaker owned by Pesico, Tropicana, has
done the same thing with their Twisters (1.89L -> 1.75L), it's
hardly a surprise. It looks like there is a trend emerging
among the giants, and it's in the right direction. Both Coca-Cola
(Simply Orange brand) and Pepsico (Tropicana Twisters, Tropicana
Premium) have made some nice moves towards metric, not by just
downsizing, but by introducing new products in hard-metric
containers. Here's hoping this continues.

I bought some Dole Light cranberry juice at work this morning and
noticed that the bottle was no longer a US pint but 450 mL. This
company is owned by Pepsico.
Could this be to sell in Canada and Mexico (NAFTA) with a sort-of metric size?
Maybe someday they'll just use the 500 mL size, but this looks like a start, at least.
