This story brings up an interesting question:
Can you still be a good samaritan if you're a jerk?
The way this guy tells the story makes him sound like a pompous know-it-all, all because Matthew Perry didn't know something that is supposedly obvious. And he has the nerve to call himself a good samaritan at the end! If a stranger gave me such smarmy, condescending advice I'd probably ignore it.

I can't imagine anyone saying something like that to anyone over the age of 12. I think Mr. Perry would know by now if a soda will give him gas. I would most likely respond (in a really bad French accent) "Gas is my ally. I fart in your general direction!"
