These cups are not usually labeled with serving information. They don't, for example, have how many calories are in them because they can be filled with a variety of different sodas (some zero calorie).
FWIW, from my perception, the 128 oz is very rare, 64 oz is fairly common but a small percent of sales, and 44 oz is very common. (edit: these are for convenience stores like 7-11, not restaurants etc where sizes are much smaller)
- test1235 9y agowow ... do we have 1+ litre servings here in UK? Maybe at the cinema or something? Most common serving size here might be a pint, which is about half a litre, I guess.
- makesthingspos 9y agoIn case it wasn't clear, the sizes/frequency I was referring to is in convenience stores like 7-11, not restaurants etc.
- test1235 9y agoAh, sorry. If you're talking about bottles, then yeah, 1~3 litres are normal here too. Single servings are either a can (330ml) or a small bottle (~500ml).
- reificator 9y agoUnfortunately it's not a bottle. It's just a plastic cup with a lid and a straw. A really big plastic cup that tapers at the bottom so you can fit it in your vehicle's cupholder.

- reificator 9y agoYep. Horrific, isn't it?
- dagw 9y agoOne factor that I've noticed is that Americans love ice much more than Europeans. It's not uncommon for them to fill a cup with ice almost to the rim and then add the soda. It would be interesting to see how much actual soda most people put in those 1+ litre ups.
- madcaptenor 9y agoI've seen calorie counts posted on soda fountains. If I recall correctly the fine print says that they figure one-third ice.
