    But is a bomber 22oz only or a generic term for larger bottles? Nah, I read the labels and generally check content volume, but it really is nothing I worry about. Everything should be metric anyway..

    Technically (see many many bottle charts, etc.) a Bomber is 22 oz. But some folks are sloppy users of the language and don't mind creating confusion for others so... This means there are also a fair number of folks who think it is a generic term for large bottles because they've heard others use it that way.

    A bomber is 22 ounces. I was riffing on an argument on here some years ago about what a bomber really is. One fellow said it was common parlance that a bomber was anything over 16 ounces. It was a dumb conversation, but kinda fun to watch.
