This takes place in 1993, yet the can of Coca-Cola that John takes from the fridge lacks the "Classic" label beneath the emblem. The original Coca-Cola was renamed "Coca-Cola Classic" in 1985 after the disastrous launch of "New Coke" (subsequently renamed "Coke II") and retained the "Classic" moniker on all US packaging until 2009, with the phasing out complete by 2011.
Ted tells Blaire that getting back home to Framingham is "a straight shot" from "the Neponset Circle to 93 South to 90 West to 495 North." This would result in circumnavigating Boston from the south in order to get to Interstate 90, with Framingham being on the way to Interstate 495 along it. Heading north on Interstate 93 from the Neponset Circle would bring them directly to I-90.
