Using this to your advantage is easy enough: when you are next drinking in a pub, café or whichever drinking establishment serves the sort of beverages you enjoy getting for free, bet someone that their drinking vessel is further around than it is high. A standard ‘tall' takeaway cup from omnipresent high-street coffee shop Starbucks is actually 2.3 times further around, but yet they refuse my requests to rename it the ‘squat'. Something like a pint glass may look like it is definitely taller than it is round, but a standard UK pint glass is actually around 1.8 times greater in circumference than in height. Despite appearances, almost certainly the distance around the glass will be greater than its height.
Have a look around you and find a drinking vessel, like a pint glass or a coffee mug.
