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.
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.
Yeah I could be wrong, just something I read or heard somewhere. I like random British things lol.
