The US officially defined most measurements (inch, foot, etc.) in terms of metric units in 1893, and President Jimmy Carter pushed to move the US fully onto the metric system in the 1970's, but there has been public resistance to abandoning the traditional units, in spite of their more cumbersome relationships. The popularity of two-liter bottles of soft drinks are a rare success story in the introduction of metric units to the U.S.
