- ohhh, coca cola. -- nm - Lindsay Lohan May 30, 08:11
I have to believe that's wrong. - Will Hunting May 30, 07:40 15
- at 8 oz servings, I come up with 900,000 servings of Coke. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:01 10
  - I got the numbers for a local channel so they may have forgotten a zero -- nm - Remlik May 30, 08:10
  - 14000lbs = 14k x 16oz...no? divide by 2 = 28k? - Will Hunting May 30, 08:08 6
    - aw crap, you're right, I accidentally went metric in the middle and didn't switch back. But it makes sense for coke syrup. - loosilu May 30, 08:12 5
      - however, one fl ounce is not one ounce of weight. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:15 4
        
        I'm not saying the actual #'s here...just this seems factors of tens off to me. - Will Hunting May 30, 08:16 3
        
        I think they did forget a zero. plus, the carry-in beverages is crazy... - Remlik May 30, 08:23 1
        
        considering what they charge for drinks, I'd carry in. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:23
        
        Like I said I can see it for coke syrup. Anyway, I thought you were going nowhere near Indy. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:19
  - before adding ice. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:03 1
    - oh, and if that is Coke syrup (do we know?) then it's a lot more than that many servings at the fountain. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:06
- he's quoting weight, too. beer is heavier than is soda. -- nm - miss amanda jones May 30, 07:55 2
  - it's no diesel -- nm - North Korea s.i. May 30, 08:05
  - according to my quick googling, soda is heavier than beer, but both are essentially the same as water. -- nm - loosilu May 30, 08:02
- those are numbers from last year. -- nm - Remlik May 30, 07:42
