There is some value in a standard serving size so we can compare nutrient density between products that come in different sized packages. Often labels will have two columns on the label, one for a standardized amount and another column for the entire package.

    Yes the standard serving size of a can of pop. Is the can of soda!

    That nutritional values are given for 100g/100ml is standard here, but the topic was the crazy measurements applied to the brand-defined serving sizes.

    The brands usually abuse this to claim some crazy things like nonsensical health things (see TicTac).
