I don’t want a large Farva I want a goddamned liter of cola.
Liter is French for give me some fucking cola.

ah this is a common cultural misperception, the yankee does not drink all of that in one sitting--rather like an ant this precious nectar is preserved and transited to a yankee hive where it becomes a collective sustenance of marginal lukewarm hydration over several days, or mixed with low grade liquor, as demands vary.
- Nah, people are definitely drinking these whole.
  
  FFS i'm a professional yankkkeeologist, it is known for a fact in the scientific community that liter cola is a primary forage category of the yankee genus and fed to the larvae.
  
  Can't get a refill until you drink the whole thing.
- You can pry my jack and coke from my cold dead hands goddammit

Mostly ice.
- Unless it's self serve.

It's to take home after the meal and sip at your desk.
Edit: I like waiting for the ice to melt and then sipping that ice cold water with the slight flavor of diet coke.
God I love trash.
- Yeah that's always what I've done. Get a 32 ounce fountain drink somewhere and just sit at my desk with it for a while.
  And if fountain drinks weren't 32 ounces, I'd just buy two bottles or cans instead. They taste better, and would probably be about the same price with other nation's fountain drink sizes. What can I say, my soda addiction replaced my fent addiction. I just love bubbly water with sugar in it. I'm so glad I get it for free at work. Probably doesn't help my stomach issues though
  
  Yeah, I'd say sugar is a harm reduction from fentanyl.
  
  I'm so glad I get it for free at work
  god i'd trade our coffee machine for that in a heartbeat
  however much value i'm currently draining from my company by being lazy and stealing tampons would double instantly
- Dude even if you drink that shit over the course of 24 hours a litre of coke is too much
  
  oh most definitely

500 ml already feels insane to ingest, USians are NOT OK
- We've been screaming for years that we aren't ok
- That's how much coke I drink in a year

I confined my soda drinking to only no sugar, only occur within a 1-2 hour window and only on weekends. maybe exceptions for holidays/special events.
outside of that, it's just water or the occasional small green tea at midday. no other caffeine, no alcohol. zip.
my limited window of diet soda consumption is my last vice and I am a FIEND for it. its embarrassing how excited I get for diet soda.
last party I went to had coolers of diet soda and I had like 4 cans over 2 hours. I was completely off my face.
I could hear others' thoughts before they even had them.
- This is me when I have any more caffeine than one small cup of green or black tea. I had two strong black coffees once and was bouncing off the walls. I ended up doing a 20 mile bike ride in the rain to work out the energy.

Seeing that 1L cup made me realize how much water I drink in a day which made me realize "no wonder you wake up to piss in the middle of the night so often"
- It's not as big as their antistate though

Yeah, but which one is the price anchor and which one is intentionally inferior? Which one are they trying to drive you towards to maximise profits, and does that differ demographically?
EDIT: I went and did the math because my brain can't let shit like this rest. Turns out both are pushing you towards the large, but for different reasons.
- Is this a bit?

"Can't afford eggs"
But can afford a bazillion trump flags, a 946ml cup, and a McMansion full of bourgeois decadence.
The typical USAian

If it's Diet Coke, the preferred refreshment of the True Left, the caloric content is the same.
And therefore, equitable.

i want to make fun of this but my diet is trash so i won't

Farva, you idiot
- I WANT A GOD DAMN LITER OF COLA

I could go for a cola watered down with melting ice right about now

On the rare occasion I get a drink with my fast food, I usually end up keeping it in the fridge and drinking it over a couple days

Haha i definitely couldn't drink all that on one very short sitting, just like the rest of you.
Totally.
I just don't order pop of i can help it because I'm a sugar fiend

It's kinda funny, if I'm having lunch at home those little 8.5 oz cans are just right, but I also have no issue putting away an obscene amount of soda at a restaurant.
- in a restaurant you are sitting more upright so the soda passes through you more easier,

7-11 invented the 32oz drink (the big gulp) inna 80s i think... But that's old news cuz we've got 64oz Double Gulp (ive seen truckers filling those monsters up) and even a full gallon "team gulp" which ive heard of but never seen

can't imagine ever drinking over 100 mL of soda in one sitting
- can't imagine ever drinking over 100 L of soda in one sitting

chug chug chug the diet pop slorp it down quick so good

Guess flurries are supposed to get the middle US size
