Just got this off another NG
. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year
ago, you would have $49.00 today.
. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you
would have $33.00 today.
. If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year
ago, you would have $0.00 today.
. But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund,
you will have received $214.00.

At a buck a beer, it's 1000 cans so it depends what the deposit is on
the cans. Anybody get 21 cents a can?

At $.05 to $.10 per can? (of course the above forgets the deposit,
often more $$, is paid up-front on top of the beer rental).

Really? I'm surprised. If you are talking Anheuser-Busch or Miller
products, I'd expect the container to be worth considerably more than the
contents.

This reminds me of a brand of cigarette (Raleigh?) that had a coupon on
every pack. These could be saved up and redeemed for merchandise. The
talk was that for 100,000 coupons, one could get a free iron lung.

Nope, it'd be between $40 and $65 for the aluminum.
