Two liter bottles are an anomaly. Every other pop container is in ounces. Cans are 16 ounces and bottles are usually 20 ounces.
I can't think of a situation where "metric is common" for consumer items.
- VLM 14y agoCalifornia wine 750mL bottles. Obviously the imported stuff is in mL but so are the domestics. Every OTC pharmaceutical I've ever seen, pretty much.
- georgefox 14y agoThere's a pretty weird combination of liters and ounces in soft drinks. 2 L and 20 oz are very (most?) common for bottled soda. 1 gal is common for bottled water, but for individual bottles, 0.5 L (16.9 oz) is common. 1 L and 1.5 L bottles of various beverages are not unheard of. Cans of soda are generally 12 oz, though 16 oz and 24 oz are not uncommon among beers. Wine, as mentioned below, is often 750 mL, but liquor is often sold by the quart. So I wouldn't say the 2 L bottle is the sole anomaly, but metric is definitely not the prevalent system for beverages.
