    We measure sodas bigger than this in Liters.

    Not other liquids… just Soda. Milk you buy a gallon of. Soda? 2 Liters. Saying you’re gonna buy a gallon of Soda sounds very strange to an American. There’s also 1 Liter bottles.

    It’s the one of the most stupid Americanisms.

      Weird. Chugging cola from gallon jugs sounds like the most American thing one could think of, strange it’s not a thing yet. Also never understood why Americans buy milk in jugs. Isn’t this like the one thing you actually want to be in the smallest container possible? Do people drink that much milk, or are they commonly tossed unfinished when it inevitably spoils?

        We cook with and drink probably too much milk. Strong dairy lobby.

        In my two person household we just do half gallons

          I’ve found oat milk keeps far longer and has enough fat content to substitute well into most recipes.
