I can't remember a time when 2-liter bottles of soda were called anything other 
than just that, at least in this area. The only time you see the oz is on the 
bottle. What is worse is the inconsistency in the market, most common sizes 
around ere are 2 L, 1 L, 0.5 L and 20 oz??

In Albertson's last night, I saw a huge store display of 2 L Coca Cola bottles
bearing a sign representing them as 2-liter bottles. There was no mention of
fluid ounces or quarts on the sign. This matter-of-fact exclusive statement of
the liter tells me that the liter is a part of U.S. psychology. I would think
that the beverage makers would successfully exercise their metric-only option
under an amended FPLA.
