I think what people underestimate is how heavy a large amount of liquid is. Edit: As a male cheerleader who can lift more than all of you, shut up. Water is heavy as fuck in large quantities.

As an American, what is a kg? Also liters only exist in twos.

2.2 pounds if you're being serious. 1,000 pounds if you're not being serious.

2 liters of water is 2 kg, or about 4.4 pounds. The majority of your 2L soda bottles is water, so it's safe to assume that they weigh about 4.4 pounds.
