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

    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.

    Recently shrinkflation hit juices. What used to be 1/2 gal, is now 1.5 L (at least in my grocery). It’s easier to just stop buying it: too much sugar anyway I used to buy soda in 2L bottles as the best price, so it was sufficient for a family or a single person several days to a week. The reality is if it’s there I’ll drink it: the sugar rush is addicting. I think a lot of people still do this. Now I buy soda in a can, despite the much higher price and packaging, because I’m more successful at moderating myself to a can a day (and it’s usually sugar free so the calories are no longer the problem)

    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.
