Numbers for a cans of soda in my fridge BTC standard

I have 8 12 oz sodas in my fridge. (96 oz total)
There will be 2100000 BTC eventually
Each ounce of soda is worth 175K BTC!
Thats more than $0.5MM each! 

My math made as much sense as yours did.  Want to buy a can of my soda for a steal at 10BTC?  Free shipping!

Math = OK. Logic = needs some work.  Grin

From here: http://www.numbersleuth.org/worlds-gold/
you get an existing gold world stock of 530,487,318.9 troy ounces.
Dividing that for the 21,000,000 BTC due to come in existence, you get:
>252 gold ounces per BTC
