Subject: [USMA:26180] Metric Ice Cream made in Salt Lake City


My eagle-eyed wife found the advertisement in the attachment, in today's
Salt Lake Tribune, for a 1.75 liter carton of Snelgrove ice cream. As
you can see, there is no colloquial equivalent to the metric size.
Snelgrove's was orignally a Salt Lake City company, and is now a
division of Dreyer's, although this plant is still here (about 1.5 km
from where I 
live). Note also the patriotic, American theme along with the metric
units
-- clearly not everyone associates "metric" with "foreign." More about
Snelgrove's: http://www.sltrib.com/2002/jun/06062002/business/743153.htm
