Probably ESA as it's 500ml in metrics and all.
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.
America: fuck metric, unless you're talking soda or bullets
...science and drugs
I know it's a funny joke, but we actually use metric quite a bit, especially for volume
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.)
2 liters is pretty common for foreign stuff in Estonia. Aka stuff made by coca cola mostly. Price per liter is a bit better than 1.5 liters so it makes more sense for get-togethers.
Locally made stuff usually doesn't get past 1.5 liter bottles except for kali (kvass). And juice too, but that's in tetrapak not bottles.
Then again, I never saw a 6 pack of large bottles of coke until I came to Norway, where every grocery store seems to sell 6 packs of the 1.5 liter bottles, so Europeans are not exactly without their own Coca Cola habits to support.
