I see these bottles quite frequently. With the exception of vending machine size (20 oz) I would say they are the most common small non-resale bottle available. The part I see catching on is advertising in metric only. The most common marking is "16.9 oz, 1 pt 0.9 oz, .5 l". Maybe its a regional thing.
