Interesting thing about this list is it shows a slight pro-metric trend. Newer products are at the bottom, and all have SI included or are SI only. Each product is linked to detailed pdf file, so you can really see what it looks like.
Have to keep and eye on this link with time. Maybe vending machine suppliers are getting sick of 2 measurement systems, and can see the writing on the wall. http://www.royalvendors.com/html/pvsTOC.html Nat -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Trusten Sent: Friday, 2003 June 13 11:37 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:26052] Re: WV vending company Glad you brought up the subject, Nat. Here is a product which I think that NOBODY purchases by exact size. If it looks big enough,they'll drink it, and I'm the same way. Metric has been so successful already in the soft drink industry and has become a standard size among the larger sizes, and it must be that the smaller sizes lack metric standards only because they often have to go into vending machines, which may not be equipped to handle those particular sizes. But, with metric-only packaging allowed some day, those 355 ml cans will become---well, 355 ml cans, period. > > From: "Nat Hager III" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2003/06/13 Fri AM 11:15:54 EDT > To: "U.S. Metric Association" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [USMA:26050] WV vending company > > Interesting link to a vending machine company in West Virginia, > including a link the new 450 ml Minute Maid fruit drink I'm > drinking....... > > http://www.royalvendors.com/html/pvsTOC.html > > We ARE making slow progress. > > Nat > > Paul Trusten, R.Ph. 3609 Caldera Blvd, Apt. 122 Midland TX 79707-2872 USA 432-694-6208 [EMAIL PROTECTED] There are two cardinal sins, from which all the others spring: impatience and laziness. ---Franz Kafka
