Try finding just a can of coke these days in the states, it’s hard. Everyone wants to sell a half a liter or more.

In addition to every grocery store I'm familiar with, there are three convenience stores in walking distance of me right now, and they all sell 12 oz. cans of soda.

The 7-11 across the street doesn't. The Safeway or the QFC doesn't where I live in Bellevue unless you want to buy a case.

I live in Bellevue now, the same was true in Westwood LA, the only place you could actually get single cans was the vending machines on UCLA campus.

Anecdotal but pretty much every grocery store I've been to sells them and also those smaller cans that are 1/2 to 2/3s the size of a regular one.

As singles? The stores around me sell them in multiples (by the case or pack), you can't just walk into safeway and buy a can of coke (normal or smaller size).
