I could wish for a law to prevent this perverse ingenuity (or
dishonesty). Perhaps, a statutorily allowed set of packagings, say, 1,
2, 4, 8, 12 oz, 1 lb, 2 lb, 5 lb with no deviations. A metric set would
be acceptable of course too. I'd like a 2:5 system: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc.
We've more or less got metric measures in alcoholic beverages tho' I'd
hate to give up the 12 oz beer bottle for the various sneaky volumes
used in Europe and Canada: 300 ml, 330 ml both of which simply aren't
enough.
