500ml to 440ml?
Edit: the 440 on the right, is the last of a can that I bought in a four pack. The 500 on the left, is one of three I bought as singles.
Packaged Guinness comes in 440 milliliters. Single cans of Guinness come in 500 mL.
Apparently, that's how Guinness does it here in Canada.
And apparently, I lazily avoided any attempt to research or apply any level of critical thinking before posting.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is not shrinkflation.
440ml is a UK variant. No one has a confirmed explanation for its existence alongside 500ml, but it's been around for decades.
However 440ml of water would be 0.44kg which is just under one pound imperial weight (0.45kg). Presumably the fluid plus the aluminium can would weigh about 1lb which may explain the odd volume measure (given transport costs are often by weight and possibly even how customs costs may have used to work?).
Guinness in the UK is sold in pints, like any other beer and ale (and milk) https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/310651734
1 pint = 538ml
P.S. I'm wrong, a pint is 568ml. Shrinkflation for real!
In a pub yes. But in cans both 500ml and 440ml are common sizes and have been for a long time. Pint sized cans are sometimes available but are much less common and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen them in a big multipack
Well, you can see them in Tesco.
By big multipack I meant like 12, 18, 24, not 4
Ok, I don't drink that much beer. I only buy a can or two. Pints suit me just fine.
I wish I could be like you 😫
Vodka exists, why waste money? :)
