I have absolutely no idea how big 55 gallons would be

Something a bit larger than 200l... I think an oil barrel is around that size (and yeah, it's "the standard unit" for that).

In all seriousness, if the GP said it was a 2 gallon container I would honestly not know if it was true.

Yup, a gallon is about 3.75 times the size of a liter, or multiply by 4 and round down.

The largest sold to consumers through normal channels is a gallon. Typically used by people who are feeding a lot of people, like making a dish for a large family gathering, or by people who only go shopping once a month or less. Some people live an hour from the store, so they just buy an excessive amount of food and shop infrequently.
