In The Incredible Hulk [LINK] , we see Stan Lee drinking a soda with Bruce Banner's blood in it: He drops the bottle and we're told: ...it had more kick than he expected But what actually happened to him? Did he Hulk-out, even partially? Is there any deleted scene or interview which sheds light on it?

That scene was not just a cameo but part of the story, that old man with gamma sickness helped in tracking hulk. From Wikipedia synopsis [LINK] : After Banner cuts his finger, a drop of his blood falls into a bottle, and is eventually ingested by an elderly consumer in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, giving him gamma sickness. Using the bottle to track down Banner, Ross sends a SWAT team, led by Russian-born British Royal Marine Emil Blonsky, to capture him. Below is the video from the film showing how Ross got to know about it with Stan Lee cameo: Most of the time Stan Lee cameo are just random and not useful for plot at all bit this time it was not true.

Stan Lee makes a cameo appearance in each film in the Marvel series but isn't it incredibly unlikely that he would have been the person that accidentally drank Bruce Banner's blood (the blood that accidentally tainted a bottle of energy drink)? I can certainly see him appearing in many movies as an extra, but him drinking that particular bottle just beggars belief.
