That pickup was overflowing with Coke and Sprite Nice product placement.

I saw this movie when it first opened in 1984 and I remember the audience cracking up when the boys start clearing out the store and one of them says, "Grab some toilet paper."

In 1984 the average gas station didn't carry bottled water or water containers. Milk would spoil Loading some soft drinks into a truck makes perfect sense if you are bugging out to a place where you are uncertain about natural water supplies.

That terrain looked like it was brimming with natural water supplies

maybe the script writer had them only take "carbonated beverages" so they could have the "piss in the radiator" scene

WHAT ABOUT THE BEER?!?!

reply

Well, what did you want them to drink? Beer? I think it might've been funny to have one person while this was going on drink from one of the cans because he was thirsty.
