   I’m surprised that the canning company didn’t reduce the can to 18 ounces!

   Orange juice has been reduced from 64 to 59 ounces, and peanut butter has been reduced by many companies from 18 ounces to 16.3 ounces.
   I feel that when a company resizes their containers, they should just follow the liquor manufacturers and make all of their sizes an even metric number to conform with the rest of the world.
   Wine and spirits bottles are 750 ml, 1 liter, 1.5 liters (wine) or 1.75 liters (spirits). Jug wine is sold in 3 or 4-liter jugs. Box wines are usually 3 or 5 liters (I work for PA’s state-owned/operated liquor stores).
   Soda pop is sold in both metric (1, 2 & 3 liters) and U.S. sizes (12 & 20 oz.) as well.

   Oh it’s coming. Just like the old 7 ounce can of tuna that went to 6 ounces then down to 5 ounces, can (no pun intended) it go to 4? Do I hear 4.75?, 4.5?, 4.29??

    Omigod!
    In Mexico, even though it’s the metric system in effect, the consumer really has to pay attention! It took me about a year to realize that when buying Scotch Whisky I had to look at the label! One might think one is getting a bargain until one realizes that the bottle might contain only 700ml instead of 750ml!!!
    
    And various soft drinks might be bottled as 400ml instead of 500ml (1/2L). Or 600ml.
    .
    I’ve even purchased tequila in 695ml bottles and 990ml bottles (thinking the latter was a liter) and rum in 375ml bottles.
    .
    The consumer must always be cautious here.

    @Penny Robinson Fan Club

    Just out of curiosity, can you tell me how many countries voluntarily adopted The Metric System just because the loved it so much, thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and embraced it enthusiastically entirely as a popular movement?

    I mean, as opposed to some government bureaucrats deciding it was “for everyone’s own good” and imposing it by decree.

    …just curious.

    Off the record, the chili will be a little more tastier with a little more tomatoes.
