If the serving size on a can of soda is one can, then why is the serving size on the little can one can, too?

Question

wouldnt the little cans be two cans?

Answer 1

It's a can...serving size is one can because it's difficult to close it once it's been opened. Thus, you're expected to consume the whole thing at one go.

Answer 2

Smaller servings. These companies decide what constitutes a serving, so if you want a bigger serving, you get the bigger can. If the smaller cans came first, the larger ones would be two servings, but we live in a twelve ounce world.

Just look at energy drinks......higher in calories and sugar, and the servings are generally about 8 ounces each, yet the cans keep getting bigger and bigger.

Answer 3

If you look on the side of a 16oz can it usually says "2.5 servings" per can so the smaller can is more accurately one serving.

Answer 4

because that is the size of the particular serving. and maybe they don't think we're smart enough to multiply or divide calories to calculate it on our own.

Answer 5

There's less ingredients and calories and so on.

Answer 6

they are both called cans and I can't reason.
