Yeah, the design of that glass will slosh it all in your face if you tip it up too fast. I remember getting wet at least once until I got the hang of it.
Yup and it’s an aubergine not an eggplant!

Well it’s 568 ml. Aren’t US fluid ounces different to UK as well?

Filberts or Hazelnuts?

The issue with that is, a Pint isn’t a standard unit across countries, there’s 3 different versions that I’m aware of.

WRONG!!! It's foot-pounds, not pound-feet.
Sorry, native metric person here. 
You meant everyone a year younger?
Age of drink was 18 for me, though we had been going into some seedy bars at 15/16. If you were big enough, you got in without a second glance.
No, the year ahead of me in high school are people one year older. I was a junior in high school that year the law came into effect, and the seniors, a year older than me, were split on July 1st, so about half of that class could legally drink if their birthdays were before July 1st, everyone else could not. When I became a senior, nobody who turned 18 could legally drink for three more years.
So that graduating class of high school seniors in '87 nationwide, were the first full year of students who could not drink legally as they finished high school that year. So once in college, no freshman could drink, half of the sophomores could drink, and all the juniors and seniors could drink. That made if very easy for freshmen to find someone to buy them alcohol on campus. Plus, stores had not really adjusted yet to the new age, and they were not carding people, so much of it we bought ourselves.

Pics or it didn't happen, right?
Above is $12 worth of Cheezies, courtesy of Amazon.
Saltier than Cheetos, also definitely crunchier (which I like), and there is the occassional monstrous piece that I'm a little afraid to bite into. 
The taste/saltiness is strong enough that I think it would limit my consumption in any given snack session, so that might actually make them healthier than Cheetos (for me). 
My initial feeling is I can see why they are popular, but also why Cheetos fans would not necessarily love them. I def like Cheezies, but if offered a bag of either, at this point I'd likely choose my familiar Cheetos, probably mostly just because that's just what I'm used to. If I'd grown up on Cheezies I'm pretty sure they'd be my favorite. I have the same issue w/local store-brand and small-brand Cheetos style snacks in the US...none of them ever taste "right" and I end up back with Cheetos. FWIW I also LOVE Necco Wafers (grew up eating those as my dad has had a life-time addiction to them) and most of my friends assure me they taste like chalk dust. 
So it's not like I have a Michelin palate.
Didn't have any Cheetos to do a blind taste test, apologies for my lack of professionalism.

Every country (that has a taste for cheeze) must have at least one version of these things...
We have those too!!

Haha, nice!
There's an inverse size to crunch ratio so the monstrous ones are usually easier to tame.
Cheetos will do in a pinch, or if one's in the mood for not cheddar, but like everyone, I'll always go back to my first love.

Just a heads up if you decide to grow this plant in your garden it will take over quite a bit of space. I grew it one year and decided not to grow it any more and it came back 5 years straight. It goes to seed quickly so if you want to harvest coriander you have to be on top of it.

I had to look that up; I've never heard the term Filbert before. But while we're talking US and UK foodstuffs/naming, etc....
Oregano.....It's pronounced 'orry-garno' not 'oradj-anno'.
Yup, I do grow it, along with many herbs. It does need to be trimmed down often, or it starts looking like dill weed.
Speaking of dill, it is also called Anethum graveolens, Anet, Dill, Dill-Oil Plant, East Indian Dill, Indian Dill, Meeting-Seed, and Sabbath Day Posy.
The standard pronunciation (that I'm familiar with in the US) is "oregg-anno."
Gotta love it - one world, five-freaking thousand ways to name/pronounce the same things. Probably goes back to the dawn of humans...
Homo sapiens: Ooot. Ooot!!!
Neanderthal: Ohht. Ohht!!!
Homo sapiens then kills Neanderthal w/large rock, and settles down to eat his ooot.
