Americans often buy milk by the gallon and have various 1-5 gallon gas cans for common gas powered equipment (lawn mower, leaf blower, generator). I beleive a gallon is tangible here. I'm sure ~4 liters is tangible for metric countries although they often use l/100 miles so they just need to know 1 liter, which I assume many drinks are sold as such
