Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.
I’m from Finland. It never stops being weird when Americans talk about 2 liter sodas. First, it being in liters, and second, 2 liter sodas are huuuuge. (Large bottles are usually 1.5 liters here.)
Recently shrinkflation hit juices. What used to be 1/2 gal, is now 1.5 L (at least in my grocery). It’s easier to just stop buying it: too much sugar anyway
I used to buy soda in 2L bottles as the best price, so it was sufficient for a family or a single person several days to a week. The reality is if it’s there I’ll drink it: the sugar rush is addicting. I think a lot of people still do this.
Now I buy soda in a can, despite the much higher price and packaging, because I’m more successful at moderating myself to a can a day (and it’s usually sugar free so the calories are no longer the problem)
2 liters is pretty common for foreign stuff in Estonia. Aka stuff made by coca cola mostly. Price per liter is a bit better than 1.5 liters so it makes more sense for get-togethers.
Locally made stuff usually doesn’t get past 1.5 liter bottles except for kali (kvass). And juice too, but that’s in tetrapak not bottles.
Then again, I never saw a 6 pack of large bottles of coke until I came to Norway, where every grocery store seems to sell 6 packs of the 1.5 liter bottles, so Europeans are not exactly without their own Coca Cola habits to support.
Yeah, they are huge bottles sold individually…great for pouring a reasonable amount for many people.
Not as great for 1 person drinking it, unless you drink way too much, it will go flat before you can finish it.
Never seen a 1.5l bottle before searching it now, that looks like something some one could easily carry with them to have soda all day long!
Soda bottles in the us shows both ounces and milititers.

Smaller bottles are in ounces (with the metric label just a requirement I guess - no one I know here talks about buying a 500ml soda)
Everything else is ounces or gallons, I’m sure someone will ‘umm actually’ me…but generally nothing else is metric; like milk and juice.

America: fuck metric, unless you’re talking soda or bullets
…science and drugs
I know it’s a funny joke, but we actually use metric quite a bit, especially for volume
