  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.

        Speaking for NL:

        25cl is a “Flute” locally (fluit) 50cl is a “Small Vase” (vaasje)

        If you ask for “A small pilsner” (pilsje) you’d normally get the 25cl or sometimes the 33cl glass of the beer on tap.

        Ireland and the UK use the imperial pint in pubs. Everything else in Ireland at least is metric for liquids.

        There are various regional names for 50cl, but “pint” is common, since it’s quite close.

        In France, for beer, it would be a “baron” , while 1l would be a “formidable”.

        That’s an interesting one, where does it come from?
