Interesting, we had metric milk for a while years ago (Wegmans) but the new 
bottles were not very well received (not because of the metric labels) so they 
went back to the traditional packages. Too bad they changed too many things at 
once.

It be interesting to see if the filling machine for the milk on the right is 
calibrated  in Liters, assuming the fill volume is
metric, someone should write them and suggest the 1.5 L go first as it is 
obviously the standard measurement on the package vs the equivalent in oz.  The 
actual volume should always go first with the equivalent second.  Also the need 
to add a space after the 1.5 but one problem at a time.

Now remember how tightly regulated milk is, and yet here we see both 1.74 
(could be 1.75 with a little more fill) and 1.5 liter sizes. In both cases, the 
silly numbers are the ounce designations, not the metric designations.
