Summer Freeze Makes Me Feel Fine

New Mountain Dew cans are coming out in force.  This week I received two new ones.

The first is the newest Code Red design.  I've featured Code Red on my blog a few times before: 2014, 2020, and 2023.

Now it's back with its newest logo.  I also received a limited edition summer flavor cherry lemon raspberry called Summer Freeze.  Sounds like it would make a good slush!

I know there are more flavors out there, so I'll keep looking...

Cherry Twist

With the recent influx of Alani Nu cans to my collection, I looked at Walmart to see how many designs they currently carry.  I had all of them except Cherry Twist.

The next day at work I mentioned to someone I had them all except one from Walmart.  She went out for lunch that day and when she returned she was drinking a Cherry Twist.  She said it was the random drink she grabbed from her fridge when she went home for lunch.  Lucky me!!

I'm sure there are many more designs out there.  In fact, Walmart may even have different ones now from the day I checked.  The summer flavors are out.  Let's keep looking...

Alani Two

Last week at work I saw this sitting on a shelf...

It can be embarrassing the first time I ask someone new for the can when they're done, but it has to be done.  So I asked her, she said I could have it (with a confused look), then I explained my collection.

Alani Nu cans have great designs.  And I didn't have a Pink Slush yet.  But now I do.

Later in the week I got home from work and saw a can by the curb in front of my house.  It turned out to be this Alani Nu Cotton Candy.  What are the odds I'd find two Alani Nu cans in one week?

A double-can victory.  And now it's Father's Day.  Will more cans be coming my way?  

Party Favor

Yesterday I went to a graduation party and what did I see sitting on a window ledge?

A Starbucks energy drink.

Someone had brought it to the party and when done they set it on the window ledge to give to me later.  It's Watermelon Twist and they said it was really good.  I guess a little energy boost at a party never hurts.

I wasn't expecting to get a gift at the party for recent graduates, but I'll take it!  And I did.

DiGiorno

My collection didn't have a 7.5 oz mini Diet Pepsi can yet.  But now it does...

Walmart had a coupon if you buy two DiGiorno pizzas you get a free 6-pack of mini Pepsi.  I chose the pizza flavors and my kids chose the Pepsi flavor.

One of the more tasty ways I've added a new can to my collection...

Chill

Earlier this year I got this cool can.

It's a Sprite Chill.  The flavor is cherry lime.  The person who drank it said it was really good, and different for a Sprite flavor.

As this Memorial Day weekend is a little chillier than some, I thought it'd be appropriate to feature this can.  Have a good Memorial Day!

Do I Collect Dinosaurs?

Last week a guy at work asked if I collect themed cans.  Yes.  He said, "What about dinosaur-themed?"  YES!

That's when I found out yet another Jurassic World movie is coming out.  And as usual, there's a series of cans based on the new movie.

This one is labeled #3 Quetzalcoatlus.  Neat can design.  

I gave up trying to collect entire series years ago, but if some of the cans fall in my lap I'll gladly take them.  I haven't watched the trailer yet for this newest movie, but I might.  I'm more interested in just collecting the cans though.
