Hi All

Why is beer sold in 440 ml cans?

500ml - half a litre I can understand, 568 ml - a pint I can understand, but
440 ml doesn't convert to anything!

Can't find anything....but it is 88 metric teaspoons!

Wonder if it's a fraction of a pitcher - we had a restaurant that used
to sell beer in pitchers (until Weights and Measures stopped them).
