Counter-mnemonic to Americans’ wholly misleading “A pint’s a pound the whole world around”
Someone was wrong on the internet and it needed fixing

1 imperial pint = 20 fl. oz.
1 US pint = 16 fl. oz.
There’s also a 4% difference between the two fluid ounces, but at least that doesn’t come with an annoying mnemonic.
I know I shouldn’t care about archaic units, but we had to learn them at school and letting go comes hard.
