I've been wondering this one for a while and figured that I might as well post it and see what happens. Why are 22oz bottles so popular in the US? I don't seem to find any imported beers in them, only domestic. I get it that 22 oz is 650 mL, but that still doesn't explain it. In fact that makes it even more confusing since they are domestic. There are other sizes of bottles out there, why 22oz?
12 oz (350/355 mL) is the standard beverage serving size, at least in cans and bottles
16 oz/pint (0.5L) is a standard serving for beer around the world
24 oz (700mL) 2 12 oz servings
25.6 oz/fifth (750mL) Standard wine/liquor bottle
40 oz ... Well 40 is just a nice round number
So why 22 oz The amount doesnt fit into any standard glass. A pint glass holds only a pint up to the top. A 0.5L glass has a little head room but not enough to hold the whole thing. What gives?
Question #2 - Anyone know where to get a 22 oz glass?
