Tell that to Giant Food in the D.C. area whose signs proudly proclaim the
"67.6 oz" bottles on sale.

Idiots.

In Albertson's last night, I saw a huge store display of 2 L Coca Cola
bottles
bearing a sign representing them as 2-liter bottles. There was no mention of
fluid ounces or quarts on the sign. This matter-of-fact exclusive statement
of
the liter tells me that the liter is a part of U.S. psychology. I would
think
that the beverage makers would successfully exercise their metric-only
option
under an amended FPLA.
