what's a big gulp
It's a depth-charge sized drink made by the 7-11 convenience store chain in the US. The biggest Big Gulp is the 128oz (or 3.5 liters).
It's just what you need if you're planning to hike through Death Valley or walk on the surface of the Sun.
I knew a guy who rigged one up with a cooling system, he only needed to get new water every couple days. I aspire for such laziness. Mind you I am the type of lazy that caused me to go into severe pain yesterday because I hadn't eaten more than one meal a day at most for like a week, I don't have an eating disorder I am just very good at procrastinating.
I saw a video of some kid hooking up a cup with a tube that fed a back-pack to load up on some special mountain dew from 7-11...
It was for internet clout surely but damn...
In his defense some of the mountain dew flavors are weirdly rare since quite a few of them even if liked are either limited run or just not common. Finding the cherry flavor or Baja blast is relatively easy but anything else is hard. I say all of this to note that I knew a guy in highschool circa 2015 who did this with a camel pack that had a broken mouth piece.
