Ezra et al, If any particular package SIZE is marketed, it should be determined by the free market. Common sense suggests that some of these should be round numbers, but let the free market decide what they are, how many there are, and what they look like. Even the EU has abandoned regulations that dictate standard sizes.
Of course, one day soon in the U.S., let us use metric units only. But otherwise, let freedom ring!
