zeet@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•In the store, I sometimes encounter containers (e.g., beer, water, shampoo) with a volume of 618ml. Why exactly this number?English

1 year ago618ml equates exactly to 600ml + 3% - maybe manufacturers add 3% on top because that’s the maximum allowable variance in quantities?
From a quick search, 412ml and 515ml both seem pretty common too.
Think you’ll find ‘Charleston Heston’ was the dance number performed to, “Don’t it Taste just like your Mammy’s?”, in the musical version of Soylent Green.
