When I was in Nam, I drank a six pack of coke (real Coca Cola) every day......................................warm. It was hot in Viet Nam and there wasn't a lot of ice in the field. That's what started my coke addiction (brown liquid not white powder)

HomeDad, are you from the South or something?  7-11 pioneered the "Big Gulp" here. When they started to get bigger and bigger, their terminology was no longer "enough" for us. Consequently, they became "Effing Amazing Gulps", or even "Super Big Effing Amazing Gulps". My wife's great grandfather established a Pepsi bottling works (and ice company, natch) in Port Angeles, WA. He didn't much like that Coca(ine)-Cola. Needless to say, we drink only Pepsi products.

Some college kids do.
And I think it's spelled "liters"

UH Dan? They spell and pronounce some things a little differently in Canada. "Litre" is how it's spelled up there. Since Amie is Canadian, she spelled it correctly.

I know. Just poking fun at US/Canada differences...it's a strange thing I like to do.  Serviette...napkin, bag of milk...jug of milk, litre...liter, we're all the same. Oh, and to give you an idea of how much pop a collage-aged student/person drinks...at my school there is a local gas station called handy andy that sells "Polar Pops" which have 32 oz. of soda/pop/coke inside of them, a full liter. All for $.59. It's a tradition for people to drive/walk there to get a polar pop.
