That is not impossible. I have bought cans of
Diet Coke in Central London that have Dutch and French labels because they were
originally destiend for the Belgian market.

Well, one possibility is the presence of Windsor,
Ontario, on the other side of the border. Perhaps the local bottlers on the US
side are thinking it's more efficient to standardize on metric sizes because
(I presume -- no firsthand knowledge) that metric sizes are what are used on
the Canadian side of the border.

A friend of mine from Detroit is noticing a definite trend in
the soft drink bottles. The 1/2-liter bottle is replacing the 20 oz.
bottle in that area's grocery stores. Just about the only place the 20
oz. bottles are available are convenience stores. Not the same in a
"secondary market" like Rochester, NY, but bigger cities are usually
bellwethers of coming trends. We can hope that this continuing shift
to metric sizes in the juice/soft-drink industry will continue and spill
over to other categories on the retail shelf.

This
is a very encouraging sign. Isn't the clarity and simplicity
just
great!
(A very good photo too - well done)
Let's
hope we see more of this on other products soon.

Looks like Coca Cola has moved from the old
".5L" or "16.9 oz" labeling to
500 mL.
