Empty, 28 cans make up a pound. I have a gram scale and a dried out empty coke can weighs just over 13.8 grams. 1 lbs = approx 454 grams 454 grams / 13.8 = 32.89855..... So if you asked me I'd say the number of typical soda cans in a pound is approx. 33

The mass of an average beer can is approximately 0.01 kg (empty). Which is equal to approximately 0.022 lbs. If we take 1 lbs and divide it by 0.022 lbs/can: 1 lb / 0.022 lbs/can = ~45 cans. I've noticed that other answers.com articles estimate the weight at approximately 34 cans per pound.
