    As American, can confidently say that yes, people drink soda as water. You can usually find people who drink directly out of the 2 liters but be mouth agape when you tell them you drink water from the tap

    You know tap water ain’t healthy, right?

    People are so accustomed to sugar overload they literally can’t taste anymore. I drink la croix if I want something a bit bubbly, but so many Americans make fun of la croix drinkers. “It’s like smelling a lemon from 10 feet away haw haw haw”.

    No, drinks like that actually have a lot of flavor, but your taste buds are so constantly overwhelmed with sugar that your literal ability to taste has degradated

        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.

          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?

        Halfway through I’d be tired of it and leave it alone for an indiscriminate amount of time. I have trouble finishing 1L bottles, what would I do about 2?
