1. They also sell 16.9 oz (half-liter) single servings, so would this be the “next” number in the sequence? (The quiz asks for the “final” number in the sequence, not the next.)

2. The nutrition label on the back of a 20 oz. bottle states that the serving size is 8 oz. and that the bottle contains 2.5 servings. So wouldn’t the 16.9 oz. bottle be the final individual-serving bottle?

3. I actually got this one without consulting anyone, leaving me kind of sad: does that make me the one that’s over-the-hill?

4. Codius, a former Coke rep I spoke to said that the first few incarnations of the 20-oz plastic bottles were commonly considered single-serving (16-oz with 4 “bonus” ounces). But she didn’t know if they were “officially” single-serving, since those nutritional labels weren’t around when the bottles first appeared.

   So — you might be right. Then again, there’s the debate on whether or not the 16.9 ounce bottles are sold individually, or even if they’re considered “two servings.”

   Ah, how simple trivia can become so complex!

6. Bloody hell, man, I only drink low-fat milk, tea, plain water and fruit juices. Oh, and here we use “ml”, not “oz”. I hate culturally-biased brain games :(
