Coca-Cola started with a 6.5-ounce (192 ml) bottle when it was first introduced in 1886. Over the years, the company has expanded its range of sizes to accommodate different consumer preferences.

16-ounce (473 ml): Often found in convenience stores and sometimes called a "tallboy."

20-ounce (591 ml): This size is more common in plastic bottles, but you might find it in some special or promotional cans.
