As a kid, it was always a choice between 12oz Coke or 16oz RC cola, depending upon how thirsty you were. Coke tasted better, but RC had a third more pop. Pop was 10 cents, hard to get that money out of the folks. Had to find five 2 cents apiece redeemable pop bottles.
Folks never bought soda when my sister and I were kids. It was Kool-Aid or the hose in the summer. However, one day they came home with a 24 bottle wooden case with a variety of cold pop. Dad said it was ours and we could drink as much as we wanted whenever we wanted to. Immediately we went at it, I drank six and my sister four. Both got stomach aches. Dad laughing, it was a setup to see how we would react and how fast till it was gone. RIP Dad.
