When having a beer, I've always found it funny that one of the few imperial measurements metric nations kept around, the pint, America went and invented their own. Uncharacteristically a smaller version too.

Metric nations havent kept the pint

I just started looking up the different ways to order beers. Wow. Even if it's based on the metric system, each country really did go and reinvent the wheel.

They haven't, but some still sell beer by pints. I can go to a store right now (well not right now, it's past 10 PM) and buy a pint sized beer and a 0.5l beer from the same company.
