I would by either

-Wendy's chili
-Whopper Jr.

And those who live in NY, whats that suspiciously packaged cheap-ass fruit drink that tries to imitate kool-aid? Usually it runs @ 50 cents per drink in the city. I heard it causes cancer bu then again living gives you cancer these days... and its too much of a bargain to pass up when you're broke as errrr.... broke person.

A 2liter bottle is fundamentally different from getting a 20oz-er from the vending machine, though.

2 liters of soda at the supermarket would probably run me between $1 - $1.50

Didn't Nostradamus predict that GW Bush would have a satanic love-child with Sid Meier, and that child would settle on the Gaza strip and start planning a palace jump to Jerusalem in order to reduce corruption throughout his Empire to maximise his Golden Age?

I could have sworn I read that somewhere.

20 ounces is a pint, and a pint is 568ml.

Therefore American ounces must be bigger by 23/568 = 4%.

I knew US pints were smaller than UK pints and US gallons were larger than UK gallons, but it seems that fluid ounces are bigger aswell, which I didn't know.
