Today we had a bell ringers' meeting in Frederick, Maryland. The person whose church it was obtained some bottled water from the Giant Eagle store. The bottles had the usual 16.9 fl oz stuff, but after it was not "half liter" or ".5 liter" but, instead, 500 mL. That was as refreshing as the water itself.

This Ozarka package of 24 500 mL bottles says it differently. Taken at Albertson's supermarket in Midland, Texas, USA.
