The Royal pint (pinte du roi) was 48 French cubic inches (952.1 mL), [7] but regional pints varied in size depending on locality and on commodity (usually wine or olive oil) varying from 0.95 L to over 2 L. [7]
The US fluid ounce is based on the US gallon, which in turn is based on the wine gallon of 231 cubic inches that was used in the United Kingdom prior to 1824. With the adoption of the international inch, the US fluid ounce became 1 ⁄ 128 gal × 231 in 3 /gal × (2.54 cm/in) 3 = 29.5735295625 mL exactly, or about 4% larger than the imperial unit.

PepsiCo introduced the first two-liter sized soft drink bottle in 1970. [1] Motivated by market research conducted by new marketing vice president John Sculley (who would later be known for heading Apple Inc. from 1983 to 1993), [2] the bottle and the method of its production were designed by a team led by Nathaniel Wyeth of DuPont, who received the patent in 1973.

568.26 mL: 19.2 US fl oz: 1 imp. pt = 20 imp oz: Beer sales in Britain and the Commonwealths are based on a full or fractional imperial pint. [note 2] Imperial-measure glasses were rounded down to 568 mL and metric-measure glasses usually round up to 570 mL. Beer bottles in the UK were rounded down to 550 mL after standard metrication was ...
In the standard system the conversion is that 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches and 1 inch = 2.54 cm, which makes a gallon = 3785.411784 millilitres exactly. For nutritional labeling on food packages in the US, the teaspoon is defined as exactly 5 ml, [ 22 ] giving 1 gallon = 3840 ml exactly.
[2] [3] [4] The factor–label method is the sequential application of conversion factors expressed as fractions and arranged so that any dimensional unit appearing in both the numerator and denominator of any of the fractions can be cancelled out until only the desired set of dimensional units is obtained.
