Back when I was an active alcoholic, I’d go through one of those a day. That was my version of moderation 🙃

Thought that was a pint (375 ml) bottle in the first pic, but its as big as the 5th (750 ml) in the second picture. Is that a plastic 5th?

I don’t think that’s a 750 ml, it’s a pretty small bottle relative to the ramen packets. I think that’s actually just a weirdly shaped pint bottle in the second photo

We call it a Mickey in Canada, not a pint. Fun

Now I need to know where that came from.

Ok yea you are probably right. I forgot the 375s also have a square bottle. Worked at a couple liquor stores, we only carried the slim plastic ones.

Thanks for that link. I’ve seen plastic fifths like that before but I’ve never seen a pint shaped like that.

375ml pint? Confused European noises

Its a holdover from the time before liquor started being sold in metric quantities. It’s not consistent at all, a pint is 375ml, a half pint is 200ml. A 5th, for fifth of a gallon, is 750ml. The names are used because the visually resemble the old containers

Yea we call 200mls a half pint and 375 a pint. Confused American noises. Some of those imperial terms have stuck, but I have made the full switch in my head to metric as far as volume goes.

If I ordered a pint and got anything less than 500ml I’d be pissed haha.
