Oops! Another Blooper

OK, once again in this Episode Jerry is in the kitchen doing his best to tell Kramer that he is getting his watch fixed that his parents gave him. In all reality this watch was thrown away by Seinfeld on the street, and into a trash can where Uncle Leo scavanged it. In the kitchen Jerry follows Kramer, and his Pepsi can, out into the hall and into the door way of Kramer's apartment. The discussions continue and eventually both parties retreat to their individual apartments-though the Pepsi can doesn't! The Pepsi can that Kramer holds during this process in his door way magically disappears in the exact middle of the above doorway sketch. OOOOOOOOOPSSSSS!
