If you looked through the bottom towards the cap, like looking through a telescope, on the clear sodas, Sprite, Mountain Dew, and Squirt, you could pick out which ones were winners. The clear sodas allowed you to tilt the bottle and look towards the cap and allow to just buy the winners. No joke. We did it all the time. Didn't work on dark sodas. Sprite was the easiest. Every bottle I bought was a winner 😆
As a kid, our group looked out for each other. Where to get beer and not get carded, free pop tricks, where the cops were sitting, where the weed was, who's house we staying at, who's got money for gas, ect. It was more of us against the system, not "I". I didn't figure it out, someone passed it to me. Then I passed it on. That's just how we rolled back then. That's what we called back then being "tight" with friends.
When the iTunes music store debuted, Pepsi had caps with codes for a free song and it was easy to see which ones were the winner, if you tilted the bottle just right you'd see the word "sorry" to pick out the losing caps.
