Funnily enough - the missus bought some OralB Glide floss on the weekend and it had - on the edge - "25 m 27 yd".
I could scan it if anyone is interested (don't all rush at once!).

Oral-B is now doing the same thing as Glide. Very encouraging. Only Reach (Johnson and Johnson) still uses 50 yard and 25 yard lengths with oddball metric values afterwards in parentheses. Seems like this is yet another product line yearning for metric-only packaging. I suspect there is a lot of pent-up demand for metric-only labeling (even in companies that don't yet realize that's the way they will go once the door is open to them); if only there were a way to get that amendment to the FPLA passed. This also makes me wonder if there are any updates to the situation in Alabama and New York regarding the UPLR and permission to use metric-only labeling on the products that it regulates. Anyone have any info on that front? -- Ezra _________________________________________________________________ http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/195013117/direct/01/
