Seattle Coffee and Subway - sound like two American companies that market their products in colonial units here, and want to keep their marketing consistent worldwide so they do it everywhere - or try to. There's not a small amount of arrogance in that.

Small, Medium and Large as 8, 12 & 16 oz on an information board. I saw two of these in the one shop, I asked the server how many milliliters? He had no idea. Not sure any South African would have understood any of this "oz" stuff the place is very metric. Diet Coke has "less than 1 kilojoule" on the can. A dru white wine box had "low in kilojoules" on the box. Michael Payne 1 Thorton Court Potomac Falls VA 20165 USA
