It's common in the US and Australia and, I suspect, any large producer of fruit with a normal culture of drinking juice. Anywhere that imports 1l seems to be more the norm.
Strange what you say about milk though - I've usually seen the 2l form factor anywhere westerners are common. Could be a local convention?
- Symbiote 6y agoThe EU had rules about standard sizes for most packaged food, which probably influenced this. I can't find what they were for fruit juice -- the rule was abolished in 2007 (or 2002?), since surveys showed people who cared about the price would look at the "per 100mL" indication on the shelf anyway. Different European countries produced different fruits (citrus, apples etc), but I've not noticed that e.g. apple juice is in larger containers in Britain, and orange juice in Spain. If anything, the trend is to smaller containers, for variety and health. https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/building-blocks/legal-metrology/pack-sizes_en https://ec.europa.eu/growth/single-market/goods/building-blo...
