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)

In the summer of 1980 RC Cola was giving cash prizes from the bottle caps of glass bottles. None of it was serious money. I remember five, ten, and twenty five cent winners with maybe a dollar thrown in there every once in a while.
It was pretty exciting for me to find a quarter under my bottle cap. That would buy a candy bar at the time, so sugar rush bonus!
I love the idea of that, but it does not sound very sanitary at all lol.
Edit: Actual quarter or something you could redeem for a quarter?
Oh no. The amount was printed on the underside of the bottle cap. You had to pull out that little plastic gasket to see it. Then you'd exchange the bottle cap for whatever coin from the cashier.
That makes much more sense, lol. But also, I grew up in the 80s, so the crazy way also checks out.
It would check out even more if Coke had changed their receipe (let me finish) to reintroduce cocaine back into the formula.
The way a few people I know are addicted to Coke, and only Coke, I'm not entirely sure that didn't happen.
Coke addict here. Also tried Coke. Definitely coke in the coke.
