"Yeah I'll have a quart of Coke" certainly sounds weird.
It is strange now that I think about it that we have imperial measurements for milk but metric measurements for sugary drinks/beer.
- RandallBrown 12y agoI usually buy/order sugary drinks and beer by the ounce or pint. Other than 1 and 2 liter bottles of pop, I can't really think of any time I would buy pop or beer using the metric system.
- vidarh 12y agoCans of soda are most commonly 330ml.
- RandallBrown 12y agoIn the US, they're mostly 12 ounces.
- vonmoltke 12y agoBeer and soda bottled or canned for individual servings still use imperial units (12oz/16oz/20oz). Oddly, water bottled for such has mostly moved over to metric. Keg beer also still uses imperial.
- Sami_Lehtinen 12y agoIn Finland you can always order 0,568 liter beer. (Imperial pint) Or traditional large beer which is 0,5 liter or euro beer which is 0,4 liter. You decide.
