That's a standard sized drink can in pretty much all of North America. Anything smaller is rare/unusual (though occasionally available).

I think this falls under the term "merchandising", which includes "family size" or "party size" things that cost more per ounce than regular size.

Who cares. Stop drinking soda that shit is awful for you.

If you’re dumb enough to consume this shit all the time then you’re exactly the one who is being fooled at the same time.

This attitude is a huge problem, and is exactly what the billionaire class is wanting.

By pitting you against a group of people you clearly look down on, it stifles your ability to care about a real issue, which is that the ruling class is taking advantage of your peers. You don't think of them as your peers but they are, since you are both the working class. Even if you are a multi-millionaire, you are much, much closer to being someone making minimum wage than you are to a mutli-billionaire. Hell, even if you were a billionaire you are closer to being someone working minimum wage than you are to a multi-billionaire.

Plus, if they get away with this now, they will do it for something you actually do use eventually, and no one will care about backing you since you were an asshole when it wasn't effecting you. This is exactly what the billionaire class wants, all us peasants squabbling at the bottom, grandstanding and hating on each other for no reason, while they get to sit at the top, unscathed.
