Brewed and widely popular within the Federated Suns, the Pharaoh beer is noted for its unique and unusual packaging - each can a truncated pyramid, exactly 40 millimetres wide at the top and 65 millimetres wide at the base.[1] [2]
This specific ratio led to an unexpected sales boost when Alacorn MK VI Heavy Tank crews discovered that the Pharaoh can was the perfect track tension gauge. Though the New Earth Trading Company supplied specific gauges and rulers to ensure the tank's tracks were properly adjusted, crews invariably misplaced them in the field. Widely available, the Pharaoh can proved any ingenious substitute, in part because the internal pressure of the beer within the can slightly distorted its shape and only a freshly opened can had the exact measurement required. Not suprisingly Alacorn crews are renowned for making frequent and extremely thorough track maintenance checks.[1] [2]
