In the store, I sometimes encounter containers (e.g., beer, water, shampoo) with a volume of 618ml. Why exactly this number? (lemm.ee)

which makes standard bottles appealing.

I was thinking about this, but if it's the case, why are cans different? US cans are 12 fl oz (355mL), Australian and New Zealand cans are 375mL, European and Middle Eastern cans are often 330mL.

There's sadly no interesting answer. They just didn't try the marketing gimmick with cans.
