TIFU Around 2002, there was a bottle cap game where you had to find the location of where Hank from King of the Hill took his wife on their honeymoon. I didn’t know the game was even happening.
I never played those games and didn’t really watch that show much. One day we stopped for gas and I grabbed a soda (16 or 20oz, I forget the brand) and the cap said The Propane Hall of Fame. I don’t think twice about it. However, my wife said that might be a winner. I failed to look it up and I don’t think the game had yet disclosed the grand prize question. I keep it, but months go on and forget.
Later it was confirmed that it was a the winner of the $100,000. I was so sick….. I tore up that car looking for that cap. Nothing. It must have gotten thrown away at some point.
But I do have a TIFU with photos and an article that is even worse! $262,000 worse.
TL;DR threw away a grand prize soda cap worth $100k

Wow what a Darwin Award
Next time something feels random or oddly specific, just Google it. Takes 10 seconds. Could save you from the lifelong ache of literally yeeting $100k into a landfill.

As bad as the crypto hard drive in the landfill.
Did anyone else have the same winning cap, and won the $100,000 ? Did they award it to someone ?
Not saying someone else had your missing cap …. just wondering if they just didn’t award the top prize at all ?
Well, I must stink at googling – much much data
