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

In Canada we have a lot of that and I always assumed we import things from America and then just change the labels. The metric usually converts to a more reasonable number in imperial.

We get the joy of both here in the US. Both are required to be listed and either can be a nice round number but generally it is the imperial one.
