In case it wasn't clear, the sizes/frequency I was referring to is in convenience stores like 7-11, not restaurants etc.

Ah, sorry. If you're talking about bottles, then yeah, 1~3 litres are normal here too. Single servings are either a can (330ml) or a small bottle (~500ml).

Unfortunately it's not a bottle. It's just a plastic cup with a lid and a straw. A really big plastic cup that tapers at the bottom so you can fit it in your vehicle's cupholder.

In USA even the cups have muffin-tops!?
