  Soda bottles in the us shows both ounces and milititers.

  Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.

  Smaller bottles are in ounces (with the metric label just a requirement I guess - no one I know here talks about buying a 500ml soda)

  Everything else is ounces or gallons, I’m sure someone will ‘umm actually’ me…but generally nothing else is metric; like milk and juice.

    I’m from Finland. It never stops being weird when Americans talk about 2 liter sodas. First, it being in liters, and second, 2 liter sodas are huuuuge. (Large bottles are usually 1.5 liters here.)

      I know it’s a funny joke, but we actually use metric quite a bit, especially for volume
