...The school milk suppliers also at some point renamed the 1/2 pint milk carton as 256 ml...

Well, that just stupid...
Over here, there´s 250ml in that carton, and its called a quart...not that much harder to pronounce, than a ½ pint  ;)

Hi Jan, would I be correct thinking your quart means a quarter litre?
It would make sense, just as our quart is a quarter gallon.
