2.5 litres is a U.S. size? Is 2.5 metres a U.S. length?

I dunno, it seems both the cans and the bottles were from the US.

Here is a California dollar store selling the products, as 2.5L bottles and 12oz. cans:

^Interesting concept, selling soda online. Because you know how difficult it can be to find pop.

Sorry again for the late reply.... I just have to tell you my only purchase there...

One new year eve few years ago, I decided to quit smoking as my new year resolution, and I threw all asthrays. Well, it didn't last more than 3 or 4 days, so I was shopping for new asthrays, I found them and purchased 4 plastic made asthrays that came in very vibrant color. Bad idea, these ashtrays are fire hazads, when I put out cig. on these asthrays, they created bubble on plastic and eventaully poped alone with the cig. which wasn't totally out yet... I just thought it would be funny to mention it, and again what you pay is what you get....

I think the plastic should have been your first clue that they weren't a good idea for ashtrays, if in fact that was their intended purpose. Glad to hear no serious harm was done.

(this is how the black one that I was thinking off http://www.webstaurantstore.com/st36...ray-6-pack.jpg, execpt those from $1 store was in more vibrant color and does fireworks effect...lol.

No Shasta at all at the store today. But they had $1.00 Cott 2L soda-pop bottles, various flavours. I pay $1.59 for that at Wellburn's.
