Maybe One is an Imperial Pint
On a recent business trip we stayed at a well-known national hotel chain that has a “Marketplace” inside the hotel. Basically it is little more than a glorified and manual vending machine. In addition to the standard overpriced staples (chips, candy, bottled water, etc.), several frozen items were offered, including ice cream. Nothing particularly out of the ordinary so far. What is odd is the description of the ice cream on the price list, which comes in two sizes: large and small pints. I may just be old fashioned, but I always thought a pint was 16 ounces. Period. Any other volume, and it’s not a pint. Or maybe they have found access to an additional dimension where they can put more of something into the same volume. I wonder if the extra calories would stay in that dimension, whilst the ice creamy goodness is transferred to my mouth. THAT would be a product I would buy.
