Answer 1: Difference between an ordinary .38 (Special) and the .357 Magnum is case length and pressure, i.e. power. "Magnum" (Latin "great") was originally a term for a larger than common bottle of champagne. Later is was applied to cartridges of greater capacity and more powerful than their predecessors. It's a term much abused and misused in American usage. For an answer to 2., you'll have to ask the people who came up with those terms! Cheers.

Think that might be a can of "Red Bull", so a grocery store. Cheers.
