I've seen the US gallons in Litres containers in four provinces that I can recall, and as far north as Edmonton.
* As far back as I can recall in my lifetime, so 30 years or so.

To make it even more perplexing, in the USA booze (meaning hard liquor and wine) is all sold by the liter. Soft drinks are also usually sold by the liter in the larger bottles of 1, 2, or 3 liters, but not in smaller bottles which are usually 12 ounces or 16 ounces. Beer is also sold in bottles or cans but those are measured only in ounces, not liters. (That makes no sense considering that the other alcoholic beverages are only sold in liters, but none of this makes any sense, anyway.)
Milk is sold in pints, quarts, half-gallons and gallons.
So you thought only Canada is weird, eh?
At least it makes it harder to confuse booze with milk.
