Reading the comments here has convinced me a lot of people either don't know what circumference is or find it counterintuitive: https://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/1ef98oc/comment/lfkrcbr/?context=3

@ZachWeinersmith maybe they don’t get the joke because it’s metric.

@ZachWeinersmith it’s definitely counter-intuitive for me. Circumferences are always a fair bit larger than what my brain thinks they should be

@ZachWeinersmith There’s an old bar trick to win some money: bet that the circumference of the beer glass is larger than its height. Guaranteed win!

@ZachWeinersmith My guess is a lot of people roughly imagine circumference as "a little less than twice the width" instead of "a little more than 3x it."
