If anyone can explain how it can be 3.3 ounces in the new can and 3.6 in the old while grams and millilitres remain the same i would love to know.

The damn can is also ever so slightly smaller you can see it very well but you can feel it and measure it

    mL is volume. oz is weight or mass. It is entirely possible for only one to change.

    It is TRICKIER for oz to change, but the mass g not to change. This can only mean that the weight changed, but the mass did not. Presumably, this is from an exoplanet with an approximately Earth-like gravity.

      The metric remained the same. By volume and mass.

      The freedom units are conforming to their alternative facts.

      [ OZ can be weight (fractions of a pound) or liquid ounces (fractions of a …quart, gallon, pint, whatever nonsensical unit is used) ]

      Either way, that label is a mess.

        oz can be weight, or volume, but also mass or even force. grams are only mass, litres are only volume.
