Speaking of excess (if we were), I saw a woman today (10-18-96) fill a Double Gulp
with a mixture of Cherry Slurpee and Coke Slurpee. Wow! I can't imagine drinking that
much Slurpee. I can only hope she was bringing it home to distribute it with friends or
her kids or something. Very impressive, indeed. (sure, it's a dated story, but it still seems pretty amazing)
Wow! At the AM/PM now, they have a cup called The Beast. It's a full 85 oz. 85! It looks like a moviehouse popcorn tub because it's wider than it is tall. It's actually kind of short, compared to other large beverage containers. Maybe (and I stress maybe I'll get one, just for sake of the page. I don't know if I'd do it in the cold of winter, though. We'll see, sometimes we get Santa Ana winds that make it hot and dry.
And check out my section here! I have QuickCam digital camera shots of my 64 oz refill bottles. A true waste of cyberspace.
Ain't that special? You bet it is. The page is called cups.
