Rare MicCanberra Posted August 2 #52 Share Posted August 2 Not too bad, not great either. But why Oz and not ml? $10.50 for the 14 Oz or just over 400 ml. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in this case they would be wondering how many skittles or m&ms would fit in the glass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted August 3 #55 Share Posted August 3 (edited) I can only figure that the machine is US design, and calibrated to fl ounces. The price is whatever they want to charge in whatever currency, but the volume dispensed has to be accurately measured/calibrated against a standard. With a lack of these machines in our local shopping centres, I would presume the machine is imported with the US standard attached.

That would be close enough in practical terms, but laws are pretty savage around the accuracy of measures. These are the laws that stop a petrol station charging you for a litre of fuel and dispensing 990ml. If it has been certified in fl oz's, they can only sell it in fl oz's. Much easier for a barman to short pour, but they are not calibrated dispensers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiser3775 Posted August 3 #58 Share Posted August 3 At least it's Aussie beer. It could have been Budweiser. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it would certainly make much sense to also have some sort of reference guide to speak our language of middies/pots/schooners/pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
