Generally most consider a "beer" 355ml (12oz us) give or take.

No...?

A bottle in germany is 0.5liters, in italy it's quite 50/50 between 0.33 and 0.66 liters.

0.33 in Nordics. Then also 0.4, common bar serving, and 0.5l can and full pint, 0.568l cans.

But "a beer" in the Nordics would generally be 0.33 from a can and 0.4l from a tap

Which is why I said give or take :)

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yup. It is indeed. I just wanted to add info.

Sometimes I seem sodas in 0.355 cans, mostly red bull. Somewhat uncommon size here imo, and I'm just wondering where theyre used. 0.355 seems like a US size, but the bottles I got from Germany were mostly 0.33l aa well. Although the cans were like 0.6l

Just wondering how prevalent and mismatched the standards are

355mL is 12 fl oz in Freedom Units™, and is the most common soda/beer size in the US. Red Bull and other such energy drinks tend to come in a smaller form factor, oddly enough.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yeah there's 250ml Red Bull, which is the most common one, but then theres a larger version here which goes to 355 and I think even larger, a 473ml one.

But yeah the tiny 250 is the most common
