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.

    An imperial pint is 568 mL.

    A pint in the American customary unit system is 473 mL.

    I don’t think anything is 440 mL.

      The 440ml beer + can weight is an imperial pound.

      440ml = 440g + 14g can weight

        That’s a thought, but I don’t think that it’s actually 1 lb, unless you’ve got a source somewhere saying that that’s what they’re aiming for.

        A standard aluminum soda can – 12 fluid ounces – apparently weighs about 15 grams, and a Guiness can holds 14.87 fluid ounces, so it’ll be heavier.

        Beer is – looking at some online numbers, though it varies by beer – maybe about 5% denser than water.

        I’d guess – and I don’t have a can of Guiness to weigh handy – that it’d probably weigh about 480 grams.

        A pound would be 453 g.
