    Living in Texas all my life I literally can’t remember the last time I saw a three liter bottle. Twos are everywhere, but threes have been a rarity in my life.

      I swear the 3L bottle has become an endangered species. When I’ve gone looking for a 3L bottle of soda for a party I’ve had a heck of a time finding them

      I know they existed and I know they were everywhere because I couldn’t help but be shocked.

      Could be a regional thing, and also this was 20 years ago so sizing may have changed.

      I also remember shortly after I noticed they were trying to introduce that format here in canada, but it went over like a limestone glider. It was quickly discontinued.

        Yeah, that sounds about right. I remember seeing them when I was… well, about 20 years younger or there about. I remember them being pointless because by the time you go around to the second half of the bottle the soda had gone flat. Mind you, this was also after it’d been ‘sipped’ on for a week. As a kid I was only allowed one small glass a day.

          Actually thanks for sharing

          We grew up very similarly, my mother, as bad a cook as she was, she really had some good ideas and she tried

          We were each allowed one 2L of soda each 2 weeks (payday for Dad). Oh and one 200g thing of chips.

          Eat it all in one sitting like my brother would do and then have a giant burp. Or meter them out for 2 weeks.

          I thought it was good of her to let us have a little bit of crap, but also understand how to manage the crap intake.
