Wegmans still sells the 3L milk and I have seen it in more but not all of their stores. Shelf space is now lower than when first introduced so I do not believe its a hot seller.
>>> "kilopascal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 02/09/02 11:47AM >>> 2002-02-09 A few days ago, I went to the local Super K-mart, the only store in town selling the 3 L milk jugs. Just to keep everyone up-dated, they are still there, and to my surprise, the milk is cheaper (unit price) than the gallon and quart containers they are next to. At first, they were very expensive and people were turned away from them. Even articles in the newspaper at the time criticised the container for costing more. The milk is produced by Superior Dairy here in Ohio. I think the same carton used in New York was sold by Wegman's Dairy. I wonder if these cartons have ever expanded outside their initial markets. It would be nice if they took off enough to replace the gallon jug completely. Also, I noticed some of the Vaseline products, that a few years ago went to rational SI. I even checked the same products at Wal-mart. I don't remember the exact sizes, but it seems the products are neither rational in SI or FFU. What is odd, is that while Vaseline states its sizes in SI (FFU), the Wal-Mart clones (American Fare) states the contents in FFU (SI), the reverse. The one size that I did buy (American Fare), as it was cheaper than the Vaseline brand was stated as 24.5 FL OZ (725 mL). Even though 725 mL is fairly rational, the other sizes on the shelf were not that rational. Those of you who shop often may want to visit the aisle that sells these products and report back some of the other sizes. You'll see that both FFU and SI are both funny numbers. I wonder if they are packaged by weight and sold by volume, and that is why the numbers are funny. John
