That's a 20 oz. pint and not a 16 oz. pint, I take it.

It is worth noting that the imperial ounces are smaller than the US ones (as anyone with internationally marked baby bottles knows), but having 20 in a pint makes the imperial pint (and quart,gallon, etc.) larger than the US. But not as large as if it were 20 US ounces.

Awwww! I want more, more, more! :)

You wouldn't happen to know the conversion factor between the two, would you? (just curious)

A US pint is 0.473 liter
A UK pint is 0.568 liter
A US pint is 0.8327 UK pint
