twelve pack

Case's smaller sibling

A twelve pack is a case of twelve cans or bottles of beer or other beverages sold as a unit: I picked up a twelve pack for the party.

The term sometimes refers to well-defined abdominal muscles, an exaggeration of the fitness term six-pack suggesting twice the muscle definition—though usually used humorously.
