Apparently the story goes that this 20-25 year old bottle was found in 2016(?), which went viral online, and Nintendo wound up sending the guy an unopened SNES anyway. (Plus a bunch of other stuff)
My friend taught me how to find winners by just looking up at it at an angle. Many free cokes were had in my childhood. It was a sad day when they switched to redeemable codes.
One time I bought a crunch bar in 1993. I won a free crunch bar. So I walked back into the store to redeem it almost immediately after walking out. THAT one won a free crunch bar. And again, I walked right back in and redeemed. THAT ONE TOO won a free chunch bar.
This went on for some time. After like the 6th one I stopped walking out, and just opened the wrapper at the counter. I ended up paying for 1 crunch bar, and walked away with 17.
It’s like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer eats a box of 30 year old animal crackers and wins an African safari.

Of course they did, it says ‘92’, which clearly meant an expiry in 2092 starting as of, I don’t know, about the year 2000.

Sorry for Reddit links. I don’t know how to bypass. Especially on mobile!
