Looking at Ozarka's website, they seem to mark correctly in the net contents 
area, but they seem to lack a measurements units policy.

They list sizes of:
500 mL, 700 mL, 1 L, 1.5 L, 3 L
8 oz, 20 oz, 1, 2.5, 3, and 5 gallon.
 
Using one primary unit or the other, I think a smaller number of sizes would 
need to be offered.  The 20 oz seems unnecessary with 500 mL and 700 mL sizes, 
and I question whether both 3 L and 1 gallon, or 2.5 and 3 gallons are needed.

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.

"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.
