The only product besides 2L bottles of soda I've ever seen labeled metrically first is Dawn dish soap and some hand lotions. Mostly though it seems to be going USC/SI measures instead of SI/USC.

The overwrap on Nestle Strawberry Splash Purelife Naturally Flavored Water Beverage six-packs reads, as a highlight, "6 HALF-LITER BOTTLES."
