Well, this does look better than "half liter" since it avoids the use of vulgar 
fractions (even in word format rather than numeric format). 


But to my mind 500 mL is still the way to go.

"HALF LITER" used to be the language on the wrapper. This Ozarka package of 24 
500 mL bottles says it differently. Taken at Albertson's supermarket in 
Midland, Texas, USA.
