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)

One time I bought a crunch bar in 1993. I won a free crunch bar. So I walked back into the store to redeem it almost immediately after walking out. THAT one won a free crunch bar. And again, I walked right back in and redeemed. THAT ONE TOO won a free chunch bar.
This went on for some time. After like the 6th one I stopped walking out, and just opened the wrapper at the counter. I ended up paying for 1 crunch bar, and walked away with 17.
I’m sorry to hear about your diabetes.
Nintendo probably also sued him, just because.
I mean, we can assume OP is lying but there is a follow up in the description of the post.
Mine was a joke. I read the post. (For anyone who doesn’t know, Nintendo is very litigious and sues individuals often for piracy. They have the legal right to do so, but other companies kind of ignore the piracy scene. Nintendo is very protective. They are often vicious in seeking punitive damages.)
One time online I said I didn’t like LoZ Twilight Princess.
Maaaaaan, I’m STILL paying off the legal fees.
That’s clearly a game boy, and it seems to be just a third of it.
It’s very odd. To me, it sort of looks like a SNES cartridge, but with a dpad and buttons added.
That’s 100% a GameBoy, and it’s even got Tetris on the screen.
The ME next to it makes me think that maybe you had to get all the bottle-caps to spell the whole name, like GA, ME, and BOY. That’s just a thought though.
Yup, lots of stuff like that. I think McDonald’s Monopoly might be last-man-standing in that space. Most likely “ME” and one of either “GA” or “BOY” were super common and 2 of the 3 lived in people’s junk drawers for a decade.
Oh, I see it now!

It’s the one no one claimed from the contest.

Of course they did, it says ‘92’, which clearly meant an expiry in 2092 starting as of, I don’t know, about the year 2000.
It’s like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer eats a box of 30 year old animal crackers and wins an African safari.
Looks like a Gameboy to me.
It’s definitely a Gameboy with Tetris on it.
Also known as how to get the rest of the kids in the car mad at you for winning a free Dew.

Sorry for Reddit links. I don’t know how to bypass. Especially on mobile!
My friend taught me how to find winners by just looking up at it at an angle. Many free cokes were had in my childhood. It was a sad day when they switched to redeemable codes.
