Guinness, Stella Artois, Evian, and other sellers are reducing to 11.2oz beverages.

(A comment from : https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/11-2oz-bottles.617254/)
"It's simple. 11.2 oz is 331.22 milliliters. Rounding down ever so slightly, it's 330 ml. Which is the size of a single beer in most of the rest of the world. Considering that, literally, the rest of the world is on the metric system, it makes sense to package beer in containers that the rest of the world understands.

BTW, sugar used to come in 5 lb. bags. Now it's 4 lbs. Mayonnaise used to come in 32 oz. jars. Now it's 30 oz. Are you going to stop buying those also? And don't even think of asking your grandparents or great-grandparents about the size of a chocolate bar when they were kids."



Some things I do not mind at all.
I don't want a caulk tube of 5yo toothpaste. Nor a 40oz pop. Nor a 24 pack of frozen sausages which have to be split up.
Some of it makes sense if a company is selling a product on the international market.
Some of it is just surviving in the upcoming inflation market.

It does increase packaging waste though.
