Back in the 1950s, a kid would get a bottle of sugar sweetened Coke and the standard size was 12oz.

In the 60s, a regular sized cup of soda cup was 10 ounces, and if you wanted more you paid for another cup. Now you can refill your cup until you wet your pants.

“1955

Coca-Cola expands its packaging offering from the standard 6.5-ounce contour bottle to include 10-, 12- and 26-ounce contour bottles in the U.S., marking an important step in giving consumers packaging options to meet their needs.”

12 oz cans began in 1960. Prior to 1955, if you bought a bottle of Coke, it was 6.5 ounces.
