The meaning and relevance of this movie's "Six Pack" title is that it is a play on words of its usual meaning which is the way beer and other drinks and beverages are packaged which is in half-a-dozen packages of cans or bottles.. There are six orphaned youngsters in this movie who befriend stock-car racer Kenny Rogers, hence the term "Six Pack". It is notable that Kenny Rogers's character's name is Brewster Baker and his shortened nickname is Brew, a reference to beer.
