About Pint (pt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 2 cups or 16 fluid ounces (about 473 mL). Pints are the standard US beer, ice cream, and blueberry/strawberry container size. The UK (Imperial) pint is larger at about 568 mL — so a pint of beer in London is ~20% bigger than a pint in New York. Pints and quarts are still the default retail units in American grocery stores for milk, heavy cream, and yogurt.
About Quart (qt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 2 pints, 4 cups, or 1/4 of a gallon (about 946 mL). Quarts are the common US retail size for milk, juice, motor oil, and paint cans. A quart is almost exactly equal to one liter (~5% less), which is why many international product containers labeled in liters serve the same role as US quart sizes without needing a separate SKU. The Imperial quart (UK) is larger at 1.136 liters.
