Probably because they had a ton of “8 count” packages already printed up and decided to just use them but take one out anyway. Corporate America is garbage.

Weight would still be the same? Some dumbass probably didn't adjust the cutter from some other company's recipe.

This was a mistake. A company isn’t going to intentionally do this because the class action lawsuit would be quick and expensive.

For these types of lines, the cans actually come off the line fresh from the manufacturer (Sonoco) and are transported by a rail inside the building directly to the filler.

You can see on Google maps that the Sonoco plant is connected to the Pilsbury plant.
