Yes it has! It conquered our soda industry and then gave up.

Interestingly, "liter" is a customary metric unit, but not an SI unit. SI requires you to use units of length-cubed for volume.

In this respect (partial antiquation in the wake of unit redefinitions) liters have something in common with the quart.

"Yeah I'll have a quart of Coke" certainly sounds weird.

It is strange now that I think about it that we have imperial measurements for milk but metric measurements for sugary drinks/beer.

Beer and soda bottled or canned for individual servings still use imperial units (12oz/16oz/20oz). Oddly, water bottled for such has mostly moved over to metric. Keg beer also still uses imperial.

In Finland you can always order 0,568 liter beer. (Imperial pint) Or traditional large beer which is 0,5 liter or euro beer which is 0,4 liter. You decide.

I usually buy/order sugary drinks and beer by the ounce or pint.

Other than 1 and 2 liter bottles of pop, I can't really think of any time I would buy pop or beer using the metric system.

Cans of soda are most commonly 330ml.

In the US, they're mostly 12 ounces.
