Bottled water is sold in 50 cL (500 mL), 75 cL (750 mL), and 1.5 L bottles. The CBN-regulated pricing for sachet water was ₦20 per sachet as of 2024, though market prices vary.
A standard Nigerian keg (barrel) is 50 litres. Nigerian Breweries (Star, Gulder) and Heineken supply 50-litre stainless steel kegs for bars and events. Half-kegs are 25 litres. A standard 60 cl bottle (600 mL = 0.6 L) means one 50 L keg equals approximately 83 bottles.
Palm oil is typically sold by the litre at markets, or by the 25-litre jerry can for bulk buyers. A "keg" of palm oil refers to a 25-litre container.
