Why do canned goods come in such an obscure number like 14.5 ounces instead just a solid 16oz (1lb.)

Might just be me, but imo I find it weird that canned goods come in 14.5 ounces instead of an even 16 ounces. Since that would just be a well rounded number and would be 1lb it just seems more rounded to me.

Because of minimising. Companies have been shrinking the amount of ingredients in stuff but keeping the cost the same. Things that were once 500g are like 437 now and we’re not meant to notice this or talk about it so sssshhhhh
