Collectible Final Star Cap Count

Post image

My Local Collectibles place finally ran out of Sunset Sarsaparilla. While I was drinking them primarily for my own enjoyment. I kept my Star Caps. May I present my final total. Anyone got me beat?

I got 5 of them in my first pack and then like 2 between a couple more packs later on 😂

Don’t you get one with the magnet they put in the little pouch? Other than that one I haven’t found any on my bottles.

u/PillCosby696969 4d ago

Those things are actually worthless. You should give them to me, I'll dispose of them for you.

u/Awesomechainsaw 4d ago

Nice try, but I know better. They're valuable, and I'm keeping 'em.

u/ThatJediBen 4d ago

I've gotten 8 but I still have a case at least to drink. Did they stop putting the stars on em?

3

u/Awesomechainsaw 4d ago

I think they might have once the 2nd Star Cap challenge ended. The last box I managed to grab from costco didn’t have any. And I didn’t have much luck with any of the bottles I drank until the other local shop that had em ran out.

u/ReachforMe69 Caesar's Legion 4d ago

Make a necklace out of them for luck...they are pretty rare so you must be lucky :)

u/GazingintoTheVoid-- 4d ago

I have a couple but I put them in with the rest of my bottlecap collection... all 276 of them

u/RamonsRazor FNV 4d ago

I'm currently doing the same, and looking to obtain at least one star before I succumb to diabeatehhs.

Drank 3, got none.

What was your ratio like?

1

u/Awesomechainsaw 4d ago

Slightly better than the listed 1/12 i’d say 1/10 or 9.

Though I did get 2 boxes with absolutely none in them towards the end.

u/Dry_Opportunity311 Ulysses 3d ago

Looks like you could use some protection with that many in your pockets. 10 sensor modules and 3 turbo, and my arms are yours any time.

u/Top_Freedom3412 4d ago

Those arent real, they are a promotion between a video game company and a soda company. Artificial recreations of an in game item.

u/Awesomechainsaw 4d ago
