I know that the Coke and Pepsi fridge packs label in ounces first then it says 12 cans of 355mL each.

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." This is contrast to Coca Cola's lame use of the highlight "6 16.9 Fl. Oz. BOTTLES" on its six-pack. 
 
I've found a 250 mL soda container. It's on Wal-Mart's Kids Connection soda, apparently a lunchbox-sized soda. Sounds like a fertile metric teaching tool for the young'uns. Wish the metric was listed first on the label; it reads "8.45 fl.oz. (250 mL).
 
I forget the brand now, but certain juice pouches are an even 200 mL.
