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.

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..
