The two-liter bottle is a common container for soft drinks. These bottles are produced from polyethylene terephthalate, also known as PET plastic, using the blow molding process. Bottle labels consist of a printed, tight-fitted plastic sleeve. A resealable screw-top allows the contents to be used at various times while retaining carbonation.
In the United States, the two-liter bottle is one of the few cases where a product is sold by a round number of metric units. Since very few other beverages are sold in this exact quantity, the term "two-liter" in American English almost invariably refers to a soft drink bottle. Other common metric sizes for plastic soft drink bottles include 500 milliliters, 1 liter and 3 liters.
PepsiCo introduced the first two-liter sized soft drink bottle in 1970, The bottle was invented by a team led by Nathaniel Wyeth of DuPont who received the patent in 1973. In 1985, a three-liter bottle appeared on supermarket shelves. The design is still used to this day by some bottlers. Most modern-day two-liter bottles are one piece of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) with a base that is molded with a radial corrugation to provide strength for the bottom and the ability to stand upright. Most early two-liters had a separate opaque base glued to the hemispherical bottom of the clear PET flask. This base had a coaxial corrugation and drain holes.
"Johnny, uh, some kids on the show yesterday mentioned a new kind of music - Ska. You know anything about it?" "Nothing but a modern off-shoot of Reggae, updated by rock influences. Deafeningly upbeat. Can never become really popular because even though they've made the back-beat more conventional, it's still too exotic for man's acceptance."
Hello, hey now
The Fonz is cool, Fonzy don't cry
Hello, hey now
Well ask Mr. T, he's a really nice guy
There we go with a sign of a smile
Slap in the goonies, we're lost for a while
Where'd you go my breakfast club girl?
Will you stand by me in a stand by World?
(Will you stand by me in a stand by World?
Will you stand by me? Oh yeah)
Hello, hey now
The Fonz is cool, Fonzy don't cry
Hello, hey now
Well ask Mr. T, he's a really nice guy
There we go with a sign of a smile
Slap in the Ferris, we're cool for a while
They sit like a diamond inside of me
In one
A portable vacuum
In two
A mini-bar
In three
A holiday weekend
In four a Jaguar
In five
A soda stream machine
In six
A Betamax
In seven
A Remington shaver
Once you try it you'll never go back
Well look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
About to fall apart
Yes I'm even empty-handed with my bulls-eye dart
Taking it back to summer of '85
Piggyback fights I was so
Alive
Will I find
Boba Fett?
And maybe my old Lego playset
Ip dip dog shit
You're on my friend
Cos you trod in it
Turkey Lurkey one, two, three
Tic off ground and it's home for tea
In one
A portable vacuum
In two
A mini-bar
In three
A holiday weekend
In four a Jaguar
In five
A soda stream machine
In six
A Betamax
In seven
A Remington shaver
Once you try it you'll never go back
Well look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
About to fall apart
Yes I'm even empty-handed with my bulls-eye dart
Well look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
About to fall apart
Yes I'm even empty-handed with my bulls-eye dart
