What’s up with 19.2 fl oz beer cans? I mean, I like the size, but it’s not an even amount of anything. It equates to 567.81 ml.

Yes, I know American units are wonky, but sometimes they’re weird because they actually equal to an even metric number. For example, they sell 16.9 fl oz water bottles because that’s a half liter.

So, what gives on the 19.2 fl oz / 567.81 ml measurement for these tall cans?

"This craft answer to the single-serve is an imperial pint, 20 British ounces—that’s where the 0.2 comes from. It’s the same diameter as a 16-ounce can, which comes in handy for canning-line flexibility.
[...] Volek, “19.2-ounce cans are the largest size that will take a standard can end. They maximize liquid volume without the need to make major modifications to the package lines.” "

A recurring story over the past four decades of Icelandic budget airlines

Iceland’s entrepreneurs: “If we sell enough tickets at below cost, we will magically turn a profit!”

Iceland’s “sophisticated” investor class: “That makes sense. Here’s a ton of money!”
