I have seen a mix of items. Supermarkets will advertise "2 Liter" bottles and in the small print, put 67.6 oz. The same goes for signage in the store. To even further complicate it, the unit pricing will state 67.6 oz and the unit price quantity as per quart. At that point, the unit pricing is irrelevant to me as I compare the price per 1 or 2 liter to other similarly sized products.
