Poll: What's your longest free drink cap series?

You know, purchase 20oz coke, get a cap that gives you a free coke, which you get and has a cap that gives you a free coke...

 
my max in a row is 3. a much longer streak is throwing the bottle away and remembering a half hour later that it was a winner, 6 in a row on that one.
 
When I used to work for HEB grocery store, the Coca-Cola vendor played on our flag football team, he gave me handfuls of them. 😀
 
I used to work at a grocery store. I had a method that allowed me to detect the "winner" caps as I stocked the 20oz bin by the checkout. I would strategically place the winner bottle so I could grab it later and checkout. I went about a year on this scam, getting a free pop everytime I'd go to break. Then I went to college....ah the "cheating the pay washing machine" scam in the dorms. When I was 19, I really wanted to be a professional scam artist. I guess I lost interest.
 
To get 20+ in a row, given that the chances of winning is like 1 in 8... and given that I can do math at 1 AM....

the chances of that happening are 1 in 11529215046068446976
 
Once I won a set of commemorative Michael Jordan cards from Gatorade. I never sent for them though. Oh, and once my friend got a Gatorade bottle with a shirt stuffed inside it. That was weird.

I'm guessing he unloaded them and knew where in the carton they came from.
 
Well, there was no 3rd win. 🙁

When I was like 5 we would have won a boat from Coca-Cola but we didn't find the third boat cap until two days after the contest was over.

Wow. I think the best thing I have ever won was a free CD from Pepsi. Odds were like 1 in 16,000.

I won the Jordan cards too.. and sent in for them. They're worth like $200 now.
 
I got 2 free cokes one time. It was funny cause I went the whole summer without winning once....then got 2 in a row and realized that other people would wonder why they never won... 😀
 
6 sprite in a row a number of years back...same convenience store in the course of 45 minutes...they were about to have a fit...

Naw, I would load the cooler from a kneeling position. Then I would tilt the bottle slightly, letting the flourescent light of the cooler shine on the top of the cap. The way Dr Pepper used to do their winner caps, it was easy as fvck to tell if you had a winner. This was about 8-9 years ago, mind you.
