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.

I work in the food industry and can say it’s not due to shrinkflation. It’s just tradition as someone posted. You can’t really shrink the amount of food in a can because there has to be certain range of air in the top when it’s sealed. I know because I wanted to make a 15.0 OZ product. Unfortunately we only had can sized 14.7oz and 18.0oz. I Triebe to both jam in an extra .3oz and take out 3 oz and product development explained I couldn’t for that reason. We’d have to bring in a different can as well as the equipment to fill it, would cost a pretty penny.
