I thought initially it must be a round number of flounces, but it’s closer to 21 than 20floz, so IDK.

Flounces sounds funny
Lambs definitely flounce when they’re happy
618ml equates exactly to 600ml + 3% - maybe manufacturers add 3% on top because that’s the maximum allowable variance in quantities?
From a quick search, 412ml and 515ml both seem pretty common too.
I think you’re on the right track. My guess would be that they have a 3% tolerance (uncertainty, idk) with filling so they fill 600 ml but statistically it might be as much as 618. Putting 618 on the packaging lowers the price per liter a little, compared to 600.
This is pretty compelling. I vote “solved”.
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.
It’s a man’s number.
If all those different products, with different shapes containers, have the same number then I’m not sure
But I do sometimes see things like shampoo coming in weird sizes because of the shape of the bottle
It’s the Illuminati. They have to tell/show you what they’re doing for some reason. Probably has to do with that. I don’t know what it means though. And yes, I read conspiracy theories.
Possibly started with a different volume then through shrinkflation ended up at 618 mL
0.618? Sounds like ex-0.75 to me
Huh. I put 618ml in Google and hit “shopping” filter and only one item comes up in that size, a hair cream somewhat ominously named Fakeshu.
Unlike the completely unominous sham poo that is also used in hair.
au contraire, fakeSHU
