I always wondered why there are so many different sizes of cans in Japan. While most Western countries already try to abandon cans because of the environment, almost every drink in Japan can be bought in cans. But not only seem the most cans more expensive than the content (e.g. an ornamented Boss coffee can with 200ml coffee inside), there are very (!) small sizes of cans that cannot even be smashed by human hands. Let's have a look at some examples.
Recently, Starbucks sells very small cans of coffee/espresso for about 200 Yen each. That is almost the double amount of what a normal can costs (100-120 Yen).
Left the normal coffee can size and right the Starbucks "special" coffee.
Furthermore, the Japanese company Kirin, sells ridiculously small sizes of cans. The one in the picture above costs only 105 Yen but there is only about 100ml in the can.
Compared to the slightly bigger size of 250(?)ml.
Finally the normal size of a can of beer, containing 330ml of the "first harvest" brew.
And here all of the sizes compared. For me, I would never buy the small ones. This one-shot is a joke.
