    Ah I got thrown off by it being a US unit as I know in the US for some braindead reason they call a pint a “half quart(er gallon)” so I was thinking 1.136 litres, but yeah the US decided to not even use the same imperial units as anywhere else which still used them at the time just to be extra special (and scam people into thinking they were getting more than they wore, which sets the tone for the US I guess)

      US doesn’t use imperial units, US is using US customary units, or something like that.
