In a Sense, Everyone Wins

I keep getting these damn “You Win 1-Liter Coke Product” caps on the 20-ounce bottles of Coke products I drink for lunch. But the thing is, at least in Manhattan, there appears to be no such thing as Coke in a one-liter container, which if my math and memory are correct, would be about the size of those glass bottles all soda used to ship in.

The best part about this was that just now, when I Googled for availability details and subliminally mistyped “one-liter Pepsi.” Half of the top-ten results referenced the following quote from 2004 that contains more detail than I sought:

Retired rapper and Beyoncé fiancé Jay-Z has ‘the biggest dick you will ever see in your life, but boring,’ according to U.S. mag Ozone. For their November sex-themed issue, the hip-hop mag asked people to spill the beans on famous people they’d shagged. And spill they did. While Jay-Z is supposed to have a penis ‘like a one-liter Pepsi bottle... It could block the sun,’ the mag’s informant says he’s boring in bed and ‘screams like a bitch when he busts.’

I think this is my new favorite penile simile, narrowly edging the Lenny Bruce classic, “like a baby’s arm with an apple in its fist.”
