If anyone can explain how it can be 3.3 ounces in the new can and 3.6 in the old while grams and millilitres remain the same i would love to know.

The damn can is also ever so slightly smaller you can see it very well but you can feel it and measure it

    Depending on what it is it could be just more compressed as liters is volume but oz is weight. That said they’re both 96 grams so the only thing that “makes sense” is if one was weighed under different gravity

      Being weighed under different conditions is possible, but it’s not significant enough for corporate greed.

      Yeah I can’t make heads or tails of it.

      I just kind of assume they updated the one they’re most familiar with and didn’t adjust the other too.

      The can is definitely skinnier though

      … Or the specific density of the material inside the can is different.

      The old formulation was more dense, so it weighed more at the same volume.

      Or the volume (in mL) is the volume of the can, and not the uncompressed volume of the marital inside the can, and they just lowered the pressure of the substance inside the can as shrinkflation.
