Such is the way of "progress". Back in the 1950s a 6 ounce Coke was the
norm, and a pint of ice cream was usually purchased shortly before
consuming it because few people had real freezers, just those small ice
cube tray compartments at the top of the refrigerator. A pint of ice cream
often served 3 or 4 people. Today, soda is usually a minimum of 12 if not
16 to 24 ounces, and serious ice cream eating requires at least a pint. :-)
