      Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.

      I still laugh thinking back to 8th grade when my buddy, Tyler, got his first pair of JNCOs. To paint a picture, Tyler couldn’t have been more than 90 pounds soaking wet and had a bowl cut (being it the 90s). He had a big goofy grin on his face and goes “check it out - I can fit a whole 2 liter of Mountain Dew in my pocket!” And sure enough, he pulled a full 2 liter of Mountain Dew out of his front pocket.
