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.

    Funilly enough Fosters is japanese now, and hasn’t been Australian for decades.

    Asahi have been buying up all of Australia’s breweries, even a bunch of popular micros are owned by them now.

    Before asahi, they were owned by ABINBEV and SABMiller.

    It was actually made in many countries by the likes of Heineken, Coors, Molson, and others. I don’t think any true fosters has been made in Australia and exported for a very long time.

      Haha that’s what I was poking at. You won’t find it on tap in an Australian pub. I don’t even see it in bottle shops.

        For a while it was in the international section of one of the big liquor stores. Thought that was funny.
