Sorrry .... the one sentence below should say "Even their web site mentions 
only 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.
