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

How many soda cans make a pound depends on if they are full or empty. It only takes about 3 soda cans to make a pound if they are full. If they are empty, it will take about 45.
How big are the cans? I have seen 2,7 fl.oz. cans (the small ones on airplanes) and 16 oz cans.
The 16 oz. can would weigh about a pound.

This is an experiment you may conduct for yourself. Just get a few dozen cans, and weigh them. Hint, 40 should be enough.
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.
