Sorrry .... the one sentence below should say "Even their web site mentions only metric."
----- Original Message ----- From: Ezra Steinberg To: U.S. Metric Association Sent: Saturday, May 19, 2007 9:56 PM Subject: [USMA:38735] American products using hard metric I noticed today the Gatorade product Propel in the local 7-11. What struck me is that the display stand provided by the bottler or distributer says 700 mL for the quantity --- no USC. Even their mentions only metric. The one anomaly is that the metric quantity is listed second and in parentheses after the oddball floozie quantity. I would have hoped they would list the metric first (like the Listerine bottles do). Still, it seems like a big step forward for a company like Gatorade to introduce a new product and give visibility to only the metric quantity. Seems like another clear candidate for metric-only labelling once the FPLA is amended. Ezra
