I've never seen the can, so who am I to argue.
If that's the case, I can't fault the writer.

I didn't see one reference to 250 mL in that article. I just hope when the FFU-ists claim that the 8.4 ounce size is a down-size from 12 ounces, that we supporters can respond by saying: "Can't be! It's 12 ounces downsized to 8.4 ounces" Everyone is calling the can 8.4 ounces. And 8.4 ounces is not metric.
The other thing is to have an irrational 8.4 appear as the primary unit and the rational 250 appear as the afterthought.
How utterly stupid!
