Haha, I never thought of it that way but yes. 2L sodas are the most common, but I’ve also seen 1L and 3L bottles. I’ve seen 500mL and 750mL liquor as well. I can’t think of anything else that uses metric units. Milk comes in gallons, pints, or quarts for instance.
They really wanna save costs on the manufacturing of the containers, I guess. That’s also the reason why they started using those taller thinner aluminium cans; the circular pieces at the top and bottom are thicker and therefore use more metal, reducing the area makes the whole can cheaper to make.
Using the same 2L bottles worldwide is also cheaper than making a special bottle just for the US.
What? I’ve never seen a metal 2L bottle. I’ve only seen plastic. I don’t believe compatibility “worldwide” is the reason at all. 2L plastic bottles haven’t changed in the USA for at least 30 years.
I’m pretty sure you misunderstood, the middle part of their comment is just talking about normal sized soda cans. As far as I’m aware 2L metal soda cans aren’t a thing.
I see the agenda is progressing. Soon we will have rid the world of the imperical system. We started with soda, we are coming for your guns next. You wanna buy a 9mm?
The large ones yes. The smaller ones are still in U.S. Customary, we have 8oz, 12oz, 20oz and sometimes 24oz containers for when you want smaller amounts.
Wait? American and your soda bottles use litres?

There are nearly 1L metal cans though! Crowlers are typically 32oz so just shy of a liter

yeah who would have guessed. I literally can’t think of anything else that does though
Some Ammo (9mm)
Every chemistry physics class taught since the 80s
Electricity (light bulbs, batteries etc)
Wine/Liqour ( 750ml, 1.75L mlst standard but smaller sizes are as well) anyone someone asks for a fifth or a half gallon they haven’t read the bottle.
The large ones yes. The smaller ones are still in U.S. Customary, we have 8oz, 12oz, 20oz and sometimes 24oz containers for when you want smaller amounts.
