Because cola is measured in litres and milk in gallons where you happen to live. Many people also measure both in litres.

Another reason is that Coca-Cola is an international company, and their products are standardized with their clients from all over the world rather than just in the US. Milk, on the other hand, is a natural product, so it's common for it to have been measured in gallons long since such system was adopted.

Why is Coca-Cola sold by liters and not gallons?

The gallon we use for our liquids comes from the Roman word galeta, which meant "a pailful." There have been a number of very different gallon units over the years, but the gallon we use in the United States is probably based on what was once known as the "wine gallon" or Queen Anne's gallon, which was named for the reigning monarch when it was standardized in 1707. The wine gallon corresponded to a vessel that was designed to hold exactly eight troy pounds of wine.

Why do you buy coke by the liter and milk by the gallon?

Perhaps because coke is sold globally and fresh milk is not. Normally, each country sells its fresh milk locally, and therefore they use the system of measurement commonly used in that country. In other words, you use the system of measurement that will be most easily understood by your intended market.
