97 fl oz cans: 6 cans per case

Compare can size before comparing case quantity
A six-can case is not necessarily smaller than a 24-can case. For these two listings, the six larger cans contain 582 fluid ounces in total, while the 24 smaller cans contain 288 fluid ounces. Fluid ounces describe volume; do not treat these numbers as ounces by weight.
- For quantities planned per can: check whether your recipe or purchasing list calls for a 12 fl oz can or a larger format.
- For total volume: multiply the listed fluid ounces per can by the case count.
- For the unit you are ordering: these links are case listings, with either 24 cans or six cans per case.
