...The school milk suppliers also at some point renamed the 1/2 pint milk carton as 256 ml...

Well, that just stupid...
Over here, there´s 250ml in that carton, and its called a quart...not that much harder to pronounce, than a ½ pint  ;)

As far as the change in bottlesizes go, it merely appears to be a smart move to raise profit...
Back when they deemed our 25 Øre (a coin worth 1/4 of our Danish Crown) obsolete, every screw or piece of candy which until then had been sold at 25 Øre, swiftly had their prices lifted to fit the new lowest value coin here.
That being the 50 Øre coin (½ of a Danish Crown), that simple move raised the price 100% on those smaller items over night.

Metric found not guilty, case dismissed!  ;D
