No it’s simple see 16oz is 1.2 flasks which is easy to remember because it’s based on King Ralph’s favourite cup and Ralph famously died tripping over a removedsnake (unfortunate name but I won’t censor history) and what do you trip with? That’s right, your feet. And how many feet do you have? Exactly, 2. Hence 1.2 flasks to 1 16oz can.
That’s a ridiculous mischaracterization. The word “Ounce” derives from a word meaning “one twelfth”, so just like the inch to the foot, an ounce is either one sixteenth of a queen Anne pound of wine (which is itself based on the Queen Anne gallon of wine, or 231 cubic inches of wine), or one twentieth of an imperial pint, which is an eighth of an imperial gallon, which is ten water pounds.

Flasks are a unit of mercury weight, obviously.
