is a cereal bowl 0.5 gallon or 4 pints?

Here's why:

* Gallon: A gallon is a large unit of measurement, about 16 cups. A cereal bowl holds nowhere near that much.

* Pints: A pint is also a fairly large amount, about 2 cups. A cereal bowl is typically around 1-1.5 cups.

Think of it this way: A cereal bowl is usually just big enough to hold a single serving of cereal and milk.
