A pint? I mean no, but that's because milk is sold by the gallon. If you think people aren't acutely aware of the price of a gallon of milk then you live in a bubble of wealthy people. If milk rises above $3 a gallon or falls below $1.50 half of my Facebook feed has something to say about it. Same goes for many other standard products.
- pjc50 4y agoThis thread title starts with "UK:", where milk is sold in pence per liter (and also "metric pints", which are pint-multiple containers quoted in mililiters)
- jll29 4y agoOutside of chemistry, liquids are typically measured in litres (AmE: liters), a metric unit of capacity equal to the volume of one kilogram of water at 4°C (39°F) and at standard atmospheric pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury. "Gallons" are not a universal metric: For the US, 1 Liter of milk = 0.2641720524 (US) Gallons. For the UK, 1 Liter of milk = 0.2199692483 (UK) Gallons. Because this has been and still is confusing, the standard unit of liter was introduced as a universal alternative (no flamebait intended).
