    here in Oregon and looked into fridge to so see what brand/type of porter/stout/ale/lager was offered. Saw normal (for US) 12oz and 16oz cans but also larger cans. Said to myself must be halbes. Sure enough 16.9oz but nowhere on can did it say 500ml. Use to frequent an English style pub here which served true Imperial pints (20oz). Most pints served for past 20 years are only 14oz. Another favorite is that ships and airplanes travel @ nautical miles/hour but speed designated as knots not nauts. Amusing reason why.
