Of course many bottles have the insane triple label like this Coke bottle 
below.  Why do they need to label the US Customary  equivalent in both quarts 
and ounces and also in just ounces.  In some ways it shows how ridiculous the 
US customary system is. At least A&W uses decimal units and one equivalent.  
The only reason for multiple US customary would be on an item that might be 
used in a recipe. For example labeling sour cream in pints and in ounces might 
help someone who is cooking and one recipe calls for ounces the other for pints 
which again shows how bad US Customary is, the fact that some cooks use ounces 
and some use pints and quarts and some mix them all up.  Drives me crazy 
because I still have no idea how many cups in a pint, if it was not for Alexa 
I’d never be able to cook.

Here is something that ought to warm the heart of every metric enthusiast.
First we have the two liter soda pop bottle. It is illegal to call this a two 
liter bottle in the USA under current law. It has to also be labeled in ounces 
or quarts..
