Ozarka Bottled Water Label Mistake
Submitted by Shayne on Tue, 2007-04-24 08:29
I noticed this when I had a bottle of Ozarka water setting next to a 20 oz bottle. It was a strange shape so it was hard to visually tell how big it was but I'd say it was about 24 oz. Just looking at the label is enough for the average person to spot the problem.
Here is a table I put together to give you an idea of how bad this is if you can't see it for yourself.
| 700 mL | = 1.47 PT | = 24 FL OZ |
| 473 mL | = 1 PT | = 16 FL OZ |
| 228 mL | = .48 PT | = 7.7 FL OZ |
Below is a photo I took of the Ozarka Bottle next to a 20 oz bottle of Sams Choice water. This gives me the idea that it was probably really a 700 mL bottle I didn't really feal like taking the time to measure it.
Great job Ozarka. By the way the source for Ozarka is in Texas. The Ozarks are in Arkansas, Missouri and Northeast Oklahoma.

I'm not getting the mistake?
1PT + 7.7oz = is 23.7 oz
or about 24 oz
473 ml +228 ml = 701 ml
or about 700 ml

I hadn't added the two together
Thats an unusual way to list FL OZ. The comma seperating the two and the seperate lines looks like it should be seperate. Generally the total volume is listed like in the Sams Choice Bottle (20 FL OZ, 1.25 PT, 590 mL) They are not saying it is 1.25 PT+20 FL OZ. ALthough I suppose that at least gives me some idea of were the designer was trying to go. Up until your comment I couldn't even come up with an idea of where the numbers came from.

seems correct to me
I guess I'm just a loser
Not the first time I've learned something by being completely wrong. Although I still haven't found another bottle that seperates OZ and PT's into two seperate listings. It is definately unusual.
