I am looking to understand why soda is produced in 6 packs vs. sold in 8 packs? or 4 packs? What is/was the driving factor to make them that size?

Most items used to be sold in dozens or multiple of dozens. A "slab" of drinks is usually two dozen (24). Which neatly packs 4 six packs into a 6*4 can easily handleable slab. Incidently a 6 pack fits neatly into the bottom of a carrier bag.
So tradition set the number and ergonomics set the dimensions.
P.S. Some beer comes in four packs which also pack into the same size slabs, especially in europe.

I'm not sure...maybe they sold it in packs of 6 because of the standard 4 person family, with 2 left over for accidents, or guests.

Well, they are now sold in 12 and 24 packs so why does it matter.

12 ounce [US, liquid] = 0.354 882 356 liter x 6 = 2.1 liters
Cause its the same as buying a 2 liter!
