Visiting Texas, I was absolutely blown away at the number of people carrying around a 3L bottle (yes THREE liters) of sugar water with the cap held between their knuckles.
Time of day did not seem to matter, people were sucking them down at 7:00 in the morning.
Living in Texas all my life I literally can’t remember the last time I saw a three liter bottle. Twos are everywhere, but threes have been a rarity in my life.
I swear the 3L bottle has become an endangered species. When I've gone looking for a 3L bottle of soda for a party I've had a heck of a time finding them

with the cap held between their knuckles.
At that point, I think you refer to those as trotters.
There was a lot of waddling seen. And shoes with the soles compressed to levels of density approaching that of a neutron star.
621? That's an oddly specific number...
21 fl oz in metric, reversed for the UK measurements.
21 is still oddly specific. Make it 20 or a prime number (like 23) but not 21

It sounds horrific....but have you ever HAD a near liter of cola in one sitting? And then basked in the caffeinated sugary afterglow?
A year ago I was drinking a liter of diet Pepsi in a sitting, and it goes down just as well as anything else… only thing is that it negatively compliments so many foods.

Can an American confirm this is true? I checked the Polish ones and they are the same as UKs.

What’s up with the French drinking 50mL of water with their meal lmao. I sip that much.
because their meals are like 1/2 of the size of a USA meal.
A restaurant meal in america is like 1500-2000 calories. in france it's like 1000.
