I thought y'all use gallons
Liter is French for give me some fucking Cola.
We use both for some reason. Soda is usually sold in 2 liter bottles.
We use liters for soft drinks and liquor, but gallons for fuel, milk, and water. For recipes we use fluid ounces or cups since gallons are kind of a large for that.
It's actually a mixed system, similar to the UK but with less metric in the mix.
I can't tell if it's an Americanized version of lighter or litre.
