That probably means that a ton of things are switching to 404ml cans, because I don't think those are usually custom made for a single beverage.
That is such a ridiculous number, though. As if someone specifically looked for a number where you might miss that it's different from 440 ml.
It's a pub pint.
There are a lot of beer can sizes.
Imperial, the common ones are
However, in bar tradition, a "pub" pint is a typical size, which is what this can is -- about 14oz. These happen a lot since they're served in a shaker pint glass that LOOKS like a typical pint glass but has an extra thick bottom that makes those 2oz disappear. The commonness of this style of glass is why so much EU glassware has the mandatory 40cl line.
Metric cans come in a lot more sizes, but as I understand it the standard ones are 330ml, 440ml, and those same 568ml (19.2oz) stovepipes.
The point is, this ridiculous number is a pub pint. Why that can size exists I do not know.
Does any of that explain the 404? An even 400ml is very close to 14 imperial ounces. 14.078. 404 makes it further off and a weird number in any units I've tried coverting it to.
Nope. The 4ml diff from 400 is within a margin of error I'm sure, so this size really seems arbitrary to me. Wolfram's language model doesn't recognize it as some obscure unit either.
