About fluid ounces
The fluid ounce (fl oz) is a volume unit, not to be confused with the ounce (oz) of weight. In the US system, 8 fluid ounces make a cup, and 16 fluid ounces make a pint. It is the standard unit for beverage labeling in the US. Interestingly, a US fluid ounce of water weighs slightly more than one ounce by weight (approx. 1.04 oz), whereas in the Imperial system, 1 fl oz of water weighs exactly 1 oz. fluid ounces are commonly used in Soda cans (12 fl oz), Perfume bottles, Shampoo and lotion, and Bar measurements (shots), Medicine liquids.
A standard soda can contains 12 fluid ounces.
About liters
The liter (L) is the metric system's unit for volume, defined as one cubic decimeter (10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm). It was introduced in France in 1795 to standardize liquid measurement. Although technically a 'non-SI unit accepted for use with the SI,' it is the most common volume unit worldwide for beverages, fuel, and trade. It bridges the gap between small mL quantities and large cubic meter volumes. liters are commonly used in Soda and water bottles, Fuel tanks (outside US), Engine displacement (e.g., 2.0L engine), and Milk cartons (outside US), Scientific experiments.
A large water bottle is typically 1 liter.
