The largest sold to consumers through normal channels is a gallon. Typically used by people who are feeding a lot of people, like making a dish for a large family gathering, or by people who only go shopping once a month or less. Some people live an hour from the store, so they just buy an excessive amount of food and shop infrequently.
In America the family sized mayo comes in a 55 gallon barrel. That’ll last for about a month.
The worst thing is… I don’t know if I laugh or if I believe this.
The real worse thing is I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be, or how big the one in the photo is.
The explodey barrels in fps games are typically 55 gallon drums
Something a bit larger than 200l… I think an oil barrel is around that size (and yeah, it’s “the standard unit” for that).
In all seriousness, if the GP said it was a 2 gallon container I would honestly not know if it was true.
