Yet the cans are 355 ml, or 12 US Fluid ounces

The question I have is: Why is 12 oz common for both cans and bottles
in the US, yet cans and bottles in Canada are different sizes?

No flipping clue, and those extra 14ml, cost a mint, I buy bottles for a
reason. :-)


One reason cans are 12 ounces is standardization. There are millions of
machines sized to dispense 12 ounce cans.
