Yesterday on FRA-SFO, got the F amenity kit in C. No toothbrush or toothpaste whatsoever--just a bottle of Scope mouthwash.

Maybe UA is trying to compete with BA across the pond by accommodating a more stereotypically British style of oral hygiene.

What's a lost decimal between friends?

It actually says this on the sachet (I have it in front of me):
NET WT. 15 OZ (4.25g)

This should obviously be NET WT .15 OZ (4.25G)

The spacing gremlin must have affected Colgate's printer.... I wasn't thinking - naturally it can't weight almost 1 lb. :o

Interesting. Mine is correct. But getting that 0.15 ounce out was quite an adventure. Next time I am opening it at my seat rather than in the lav.
