Is that centiliters? I wasn’t aware that was a commonly used unit. I’ve only ever seen ml. But how does the 50+6.5 thing work? Is there like a second reservoir, or is it just a different way of saying 56.5cl?
It’s basically just saying “hey, it’s more than 50cl!” (Which is a common can size). It’s a pretty stupidly small amount to have different cans and advertise for IMO, at least make it 10cl more.
Common enough in a drinks context. But really, that doesn’t matter because it’s metric: you’re not going to end up with 4269 fartbuckets to the whateverthefuck. Instead it says centi so it’s a 100th of the thing, which is barely even mental arithmetic at all.
It’s slightly larger than the standard 500ml can, the + is because they’d like to emphasize the “bonus”
We have cl on a lot of stuff here too, in northern Europe. And many recipes use deciliters! Love deciliters! Metric is fun!
And as a small side rant, honestly cups can go to hell, worst way to measure for a recipe! Liquids, sure if you must, but flour and sugar needs to be by weight goddammit!

US or British Fartbuckets ?
Yeah, I know the prefixes, I just hadn’t seen it used with liquid like that
Yes, Switzerland is weirdly obsessed with centilitres, not sure why. But it’s metric so it’s not a big deal.
Yes.

Because deciliters is proper metric notation. We don’t count large distances in millimeters.
