Frequently Asked Questions
How many fl oz is 500 mL?

How many fluid ounces is a standard can or bottle of soda?
A standard US soda can is 12 fl oz, which is about 355 mL, while a typical small water bottle is 16.9 fl oz, or 500 mL. Many international drinks are labeled in milliliters, so converting helps you compare sizes. A 330 mL European can, for instance, works out to about 11.2 fl oz, slightly smaller than the US 12 oz can.
Is a fluid ounce the same as an ounce of weight?
No, they measure different things. A fluid ounce measures volume, while an ounce (oz) by itself measures weight. They are only equal for water near room temperature, where 1 US fluid ounce of water weighs about 1.04 ounces. For denser or lighter liquids like honey or oil, the volume and weight will differ noticeably.
