minus-square@remi_pan@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink3•4 months agoA drinking glass in the States is 500 mL ?! That’s huge ! In my part of the globe glasses are usually more between 120 and 250 mL.
minus-square@vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•4 months agoIts a hold over from cantines and waterskins. Remember a solid percentage of the US was effectively frontier 120 years ago.
minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•4 months agoYeah, 450-550ml (16-20oz) is a pretty common size for a drinking glass at home or at a restaurant. We also have “juice glasses” which are about 110-170 (4-6oz) you mentioned, but not everyone has then. My kids’ cups are about 200ml (6-8oz).
