November 20, 1956, Appleton Post-Crescent
I am taken by the new "king-size" which is only 12 ounces. Granted, I can remember the days of glass soda bottles when 8 ounces was the norm. In today's parlance, a normal-sized bottle is 16.9 ounces now and "mini-cans" are being sold at 7.5 ounces. It's our national passion that bigger is always better when it comes to foodstuffs. It might explain our expanded waistlines, too.
And I love that "mom" is in quotes.
