About pints
The pint is a unit steeped in tradition, especially in pub culture. However, a 'pint' means different things in different places. A US Liquid Pint is 16 fluid ounces (approx. 473 mL), while a British Imperial Pint is 20 fluid ounces (approx. 568 mL). This is why a beer in London is visibly larger than a standard beer in New York. The unit dates back to the measuring of wine and ale in medieval Europe. pints are commonly used in Beer servings, Ice cream (e.g., Ben & Jerry's), Blueberries/Strawberries, and Cream and milk, Blood donation (approx. 1 pint).
A standard Ben & Jerry's ice cream tub is 1 pint.
About quarts
The quart literally means 'quarter gallon'. Like the gallon, the US Liquid Quart is smaller than the Imperial Quart. It is a familiar size in US supermarkets for liquids that are too much for a pint but not enough for a gallon. In the US, it is close enough to a liter (approx. 0.946 L) that they are sometimes treated as roughly equivalent in casual conversation, though the quart is slightly smaller. quarts are commonly used in Motor oil, Yogurt containers, Paint cans, and Soup broth, Ice cream tubs.
A bottle of motor oil is usually 1 quart.
