      I’ll accept the lowercase L (in my East Coast based US education we were taught liters should always be capital L, but that seems to either be flat-out incorrect or have fallen out of fashion), but googling images of the cans shows me no space between the number and the unit.

        I hadn’t even noticed that you didn’t put a space between the number and the unit. Looking it up online, the Bureau international des poids et mesures states that a space is to be used in front of all units, except for °, ’ and ". Dropping the space is very common though.

          It’s cool to learn the official guidelines; thanks for doing the legwork here!
