How did 13 gallons become the standard for kitchen trash bags in the U.S.?

Asked by ibstubro (18804points) July 3rd, 2015

Considering we’re generally superstitious enough that there’s not a 13th floor in most highrises, isn’t 13 gallons an odd standard?

Is there a standard ‘kitchen trash bag’ size outside the U.S., and if so, what is it?
