my guess : they setup a machine that prints the successive numbers inside the bottle caps and there is no way to skip a number, they had to remove them afterwards.. someone simply forgot to do that.
- mkl 6y agoMaking 800,000 extra bottle caps and removing them later seems like a plan that wouldn't have left the drawing board. Especially with the risk of fraud from these particular caps.
- jjk166 6y agoWouldn't surprise me if they had a little piston or something to push off every Xth bottle but there was an off-by-one error so they wound up pushing off every bottle with 348 printed instead, or perhaps they had to restart the line once and no one told the engineer to adjust for it so the place was off after that.
