      It was USA Today that got the odd 6,5000 wrong. No idea what number they meant to say.

      Interesting side note: Japan delimits numbers in groups of 4 like that.

      Do they use commas?

        Back to the Future Part II: Pepsi to Release Limited Edition Bottle Featured in Film, Report Says

        The bottle of "Pepsi Perfect" is designed to look like the one Marty McFly is given during the second film, USA Today reports. The 6,5000 bottles will be released Oct. 21 and sold for $20.15 each.

        future pepsi perfect

        I'll buy one if possible!

        At that price I am guessing that it will be pretty possible.

          65,000 bottles - I'm thinking they will be sold out in under 5 mins.

            Pepsi will make over a million dollars just on letting people buy a quirky bottle!

              When using western 3 digit grouping, yes.
              When using Japanese grouping, it is not wrote with commas, but with a kanji character for the grouping.

                I found an article that said 6500 bottles, not 65 thousand bottles..These will be sold out in under 1 min.

                  That is not very many bottles at all. That's not enough even for managers, let alone employees, of Pepsi!

                    Yeah, this stunt seems almost worst than the shoe stunt they pulled 4 years ago. 6500 bottles.. HA! At least with the shoes, they money (at least some part of it) went to charity, and because it was an open auction type thing.. there wasn't a lot of worry about them being bought just to be resold again later - presumably they would be purchased by whomever wanted them at the highest price at that time.

                            They are having a really tough time down there. The whole area is not even inhabitable anymore.

                                  So douse it with gas and set it ablaze... fire ants are not a protected species.

                                      I've been playing way too much Kerbal Space Program... This just seems like a day in the life to a Kerbin. Especially when I am running the space program.
