Glad you brought up the subject, Nat. Here is a product which I think that NOBODY purchases by exact size. If it looks big enough,they'll drink it, and I'm the same way. Metric has been so successful already in the soft drink industry and has become a standard size among the larger sizes, and it must be that the smaller sizes lack metric standards only because they often have to go into vending machines, which may not be equipped to handle those particular sizes. But, with metric-only packaging allowed some day, those 355 ml cans will become---well, 355 ml cans, period.
