2L Pepsi bottle for scale
Yeah, I discovered my 8 liter basket to be rather too small when I found a bunch of them a while ago 😁
Can I just bite it?
Yes you can, at list once
In fact, this mushroom tastes like a champignon
I haven't tried it raw, but it's delicious fried.
I had these growing in my yard last year.
I like how they were like american's don't know what a kg is, let's put a liter of cola next to it for scale.
Fun fact, Pepsi (and most other popular sodas) in US are sold in following sizes:
- mini cans (7.5 ounces)
- classic cans (12 ounces)
- 16.9 ounce bottles
- 20 ounce bottles
- 1-liter bottles
- 1.25-liter bottles
- 2-liter bottles
