Why is the USA the only country who doesn’t use the metric system?

USA uses both, just like the UK and Canada. It’s standard in the states for…medicine, the military, science, and… two-liter beverage bottles.

Soft drinks in general. A can is 255ml, a bottle is 500ml, a big bottle is 2L

Could have sworn it was 330

330 is perhaps the most common standard can size in Europe (other common ones being 250, 500, and for beer also 440 and 568 ml). Most drinks that I see that are imported from the USA have strange can (or bottle) sizes, 355 ml being the only one I remember off the top of my head. But I don’t buy them often because A) imperialism and B) they’re expensive.
