Where is this at? I’ve never seen 440ml or 440ml cans in North America. Canned drinks/beers usually come in 355ml (12 US ounces), 473ml (16oz), 500ml (16.9 oz), or 19.2 US ounces (20 British ounces aka British pint). Other less common sizes are 8oz (236ml / Red Bull) and big beer formats like 24oz and 32oz (just shy of a litre).
404ml is around 13.66 US ounces or 14.2 imperial ounces.
440ml is around 14.7 US ounces or 15.5 imperial ounces.
Usually when you get a measurement that’s not a nice round number like 500 or 750 it means it was probably converted from some other measurement standard. But both measurements seem completely arbitrary for what I assume is an English speaking country.
I looked through some antique measurements but didn’t find anything useful. It seems to be more than half a chungah, but far less than a butt.
Recently did a road trip through Europe and saw loads of 440ml cans in the Netherlands and France, less so in Belgium and Germany where it seems to be mostly bottled.

330 and 440 are standard metric can sizes. 404 is weird.
Can you give me an link to this? I have never seen 440 ml cans and Im a eurometricboi.
Might be a UK thing, it’s the standard size in multi packs. Asda

Looks like Ontario, Canada:

Weight of the beer plus the can would be 1lb.
I wonder if the 404ml can is heavier to still make it 1lb.
