The Weights and Measures Act 1985 that stipulates goods must be sold with metric measurements is a UK law, not an EU one. The implication this means 568ml can't be described as a pint is incorrect; imperial measurements are allowed alongside metric measures. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1985/72/contents https://www.gov.uk/weights-measures-and-packaging-the-law https://www.globalfoods.co.uk/shop/beer-cider/beer/lager-cans/stella-pint-cans-6x4x568ml

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1817564368797659398

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
