    They still seem to sell them around town but it’s never the premium brands, it’s not even off-label brands. They’re always in that discount supermarket with crushed pallets of product and all kinds of weird shit you’ve never heard of, and the soda is always pink or orange.

    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.

    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.

    Visiting Texas, I was absolutely blown away at the number of people carrying around a 3L bottle (yes THREE liters) of sugar water with the cap held between their knuckles.

    Time of day did not seem to matter, people were sucking them down at 7:00 in the morning.
