I see this quite a bit in the "volume" area of consumer goods. The 399 mL
bottle of pomegranate juice that prefers to be known by its 13.5 fl oz size,
or the 399 mL bottle of generic shampoo that mimics Procter & Gamble's 400
mL Head and Shoulders. In both cases you've got someone taking those fluid
ounces too seriously :)

Here's another example of the US going metric.
I just bought some rolls of commercial paper hand towels at *Costco*.
Guess what?
I measured the *width as 20 cm* which is just a little less that 8
inches.
I measured the *diameter as 17 cm* which is a little less than 6 3/4
inches.
Dimensions printed on the box are:
width 7.87 inches and *19.98 cm*
Length 450 feet and *137.15 m*
