Not the right one. A twenty-sixer is a roughly a fifth of the US (128
ounces) gallon. The proper Gallon has 160 ounces.

26 liquid ounces is roughly 750 cc, or 3/4 liter.

I wasn't buying it in Canada. The bottles were clearly marked
as being 25.6 ounces -- one fifth of a US gallon. You can stuff the
"Proper" trolling.
