TIL that an American pint (500ml) is smaller than a British pint (568ml).

TIL Brits have bigger pints, not just small baby sized shots! Does it balance out?

Yeah it comes up in Canada where restaurants will say “Pint*” to short change us.

Except you can report that and they’ll get punished

The American pint is actually only 473ml! That’s a half litre bottle.

Then there’s some dodgy measurements going on the side of that can.
Also explains when I’ve been in America and asked for a pint of beer I’ve been given a child’s size glass compared to what I’m used to

Well it says 1.05 pints in the pic though 500ml would be 473 x 1.056 so technically correct but yes definitely on second part.

47 cl vs. 57 cl, really ?
In Europe, the pint is at an even 50 cl.
