Stated Chlorine Level is Wrong!
The proper chlorine level for a swimming pool is around 2 parts per MILLION, not two parts per billion, as your (incorrect) reference states. Please correct this, because it is off by a factor of a thousand. 129.55.200.20 (talk) 16:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Ammonium Sulfate?
Ammonium sulfate is not foul-smelling. Shouldn't that be ammonium sulfide? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.157.24.181 (talk) 22:43, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

$500 bills?
The article states that winning cans might contain "a rolled piece of currency, from $1 to $500", which is indeed what it says in at least one of the cited sources. However, the U.S. $500 bill was withdrawn from circulation starting in 1969 and, according to various sources, had last been printed in the 1930s or 1940s. These bills remain valid and can be obtained individually from collectors, but the Coca-Cola company couldn't just go to a bank and ask for however many they needed.

But with only 750,000 cans being distributed, presumably they didn't need very many &mdash; maybe there was only one top prize. It would be interesting to know whether they did in fact obtain one or more $500 bills for this purpose, or whether (as I suspect) the singular wording "a piece" is wrong and there was enough space in the can for the $500 prize to actually take the form of five $100 bills. --65.94.51.196 (talk) 18:18, 22 April 2013 (UTC) (my confusing typo fixed later)
