That’s the bad German influence. First you start to complain about everything, then upgrade to protesting.

Jokes aside… how common are cans in the US still?

The thing still often seen in cans here are energy drinks. And those are fittingly often “non-standard sizes” (basically adapted from US sizes with less filling, for example 12 oz -> ⅓ L) that never existed when cans (¼ and ½ L being the normal sizes) where still more common.

Ohh, and cheap beer…

But I have honestly not touched a coca cola can for more than two decades.

TIL: Aluminium bottles are a thing.

Up until now I only knew thick reusable plastic, thin recycleable plastic and reusable glas as the usual materials for bottles.

Edit: Oh, wait… I’m stupid. I simply forgot that cans exist as I haven’t drunken cola from a can in decades.
