Cool that passive aggression, I didn’t mean anything mean when I asked that question. It just seemed to make sense to me that European countries, which tend to be more health conscious than the americas, would have a market that preferred smaller bottles of soda. I thought I discovered a cool little cultural detail and I wanted to confirm it.

In Canada and what I’ve seen of America, we tend to sell either the big 2L bottles for parties, or small hand sized bottles for individuals. Sometimes, I would see even smaller bottles for when they really wanted to rip off a customer, but I’ve never seen a true medium between the two for sale here, at least not for soda.

Maybe they had one at a specialty shop I never went to, but my point is that here in Canada, the 2L soda bottle is the iconic norm, but that isn’t the case in Europe based off of what I remember of it.

In the US, 2 liter is the norm, ironically, as the only thing they commonly use metric for. I've never seen a half gallon soda.

I've seen 1 liter plenty of times in India, but never in the US.

In any case, since the 2 liter of mountain dew has been guessed, it's time for another round.

When I was in the US I saw 1 liter bottles in gas stations and rarely in supermarkets but they were all most always ether Dr. Pepper or Pepsi.

Where I come from they have 2 liter bottles of Mountain Dew, 1.5 liter ones (though I’ve only seen them at one store), 1 liter ones (which only some grocery stores seem to have, but most convenience stores do), and of course, 20 oz. bottles.

The 1 liter bottles and the 20 oz. bottles are almost the same price.  So close, in fact, that it makes no economic sense to buy the 20 oz.

Pepsi and Mountain Dew are owned by the same company.

Pepsi and Mountain Dew are owned by the same company.

But I never saw Mountain Dew in the 1 Liter bottle.

Well, enough derailing.

Let’s let heydude6 come up with a “thing” for us to guess.

[heydude6]

Actually, I have pretty busy week right now. I’d only be able to write a reply about once a day (right before I go to bed specifically). I’d rather have someone more available do it, so the game doesn’t go too slowly.

Would you like to do it King Zultan?

[King Zultan]

Yes.
