  Yes, the very metric package sizes using multiples of 7.

    It doesn't matter what the multiple is. It could be 28.35g exactly, it's still metric because of the unit.

      Their point was that while it’s using metric, all the available sizes are based on imperial amounts.

        And all Imperial amounts are based on the SI system (the official name for metric). That's basically the point of having a standard.

        I'm really not sure what the big deal is that the packaging uses the metric equivalent of the unit used in the US, which is one of the main countries that many businesses worldwide serve. That's also the case with butter (1 lb to 454g), cream cheese (8 oz to 250g), etc.
