The milk was in Rochester, NY but sadly it did not catch on and
disappeared. Probably would have been fine if it replaced the English
size.

There are so many beverages that are sold
in the 591 ml size. I ache to see them add
that last 9 ml! Throw away the WOMBAT labeling,
and you have a 600 ml-size widely distributed
product with very little re-tooling required. It would
go a long way towards removing discomfort with
metric in the US to see such a common vending machine item
in a familiar, but even-numbered metric, size.
Metric milk, in a 3-liter container, would be another step forward in
the US metrication process. Someone on this list mentioned a few years
ago that they saw such a product in a supermarket or grocery store
somewhere in the US. Anyone seen one since?
