regular size
If for the US I believe they tend to use "regular", in contrast with [false] "economy size". (I include false because you end up throwing half of it away because it spoils...... :) )

Discussion
Lots of things are "popular" in Spain, from political parties to breakfasts ("desayuno popular" is commonly offered in bars round my way). I tend to feel that "popular" sounds a bit unnatural in English.
