In the 1950s, a 12 ounce can of soda was considered “king-size,” and included two full servings:
In 2010, we consider 20 ounces of soda to be the “small” size drink:
Even adjusting for the ice in the fountain drinks, the small in 2010 is equivalent to the king-size from 1950.
I have to admit that I drink approximately 167 ounces of Diet Coke a day, so I’m not sure how people got by on only one king-sized 12 ounce can at a time.
Has our fluid-intake needs changed or is this a sign of that mostly forgotten vice, gluttony?
