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

    you’d have more weight if you had more liquid in the can. The can probably contains an emulsifying agent that was changed, altering how much liquid you’d need in the same volume to guarantee the aerosol effect worked.

        yes and no, fluid ounces are volume.

        “Is 1 fl oz the same as 1 oz? Both fluid ounces and ounces represent a unit of measurement, but they are quite different. Fluid ounces, as the name might imply, are specifically meant to measure volume (often of liquid ingredients like water), while ounces measure weight, usually of solid ingredients like all-purpose flour.”

        aerosol cans typically display fluid ounces. You can google it.

          Where as ml is volume and g is mass.

          So either way Oz is portrayed here one of the other two would have to adjust?
