    Common enough in a drinks context. But really, that doesn’t matter because it’s metric: you’re not going to end up with 4269 fartbuckets to the whateverthefuck. Instead it says centi so it’s a 100th of the thing, which is barely even mental arithmetic at all.

    It’s slightly larger than the standard 500ml can, the + is because they’d like to emphasize the “bonus”

        Prefixes aren’t specific to individual units, the beauty is it still means 1/100 no matter if you’re talking about length, weight, mass, volume, voltage, magnetic flux… go nuts.

        (This being said, tens and hundreds are rarer for most units. Centiliter for drinks and centimeters for e.g. someone’s height are common)
