Halloween Fanta

This is exciting and disappointing.  So far, I've only collected 2 of the 5 Fanta Halloween special edition cans.

The first is Chucky's Punch, from the Child's Play movies.  The second is Orange, featuring Freddy Fazbear from the Five Nights at Freddy's movie (and video game).  Btw, the second movie in the series is set to release on Dec 5 of this year.

The can I really want is the Pineapple can featuring Michael Myers.  I'd seen the first Halloween movie years ago, but didn't realize twelve more had been made!  So I began a little journey to watch all thirteen movies in order before Halloween this year.  I barely met the deadline, but after watching Halloween Ends this morning I accomplished a major goal.  Now I need to accomplish the goal of getting a Michael Myers can...

Energy from Co-Workers

Another week, another 3 energy drink cans from co-workers.

Three brands, three sizes, three flavors.

The first is a 16oz Monster Energy Ultra Strawberry Dreams can.  Pink and pretty, they said it tasted really good.

The second is an 8.4oz Red Bull Watermelon can.  She said a rep came to her other job and handed these out.  So why not take a free sample?

The third is a 12oz Alani Nu Sherbet Swirl can.  Alani Nu always has colorful cans, and this one is no exception.  She said it was really good, also.

As long as my co-workers keep up the variety of what they drink, I'll stay energized at growing my can collection.

Let's Do Rehab

A couple more recent Monster finds at work.

These are Monster Rehabs.  Here we have Peach tea and Wild Berry Tea.

The "recover" aspect makes them nothing short of a miracle tonic:

• Advanced hydration
• Electrolytes
• Reduced fatigue
• Increased concentration
• Vitamins
• Coconut water
• Botanicals
• Can collection expansion

I may have added the last bullet point, but it's the most important one to me.  I feel better already.

Three More Monsters

I have a co-worker who is on a Monster kick!  And from this I've acquired a few new cans lately.

This is Ultra Blue Hawaiian, Ultra Vice Guava, and Zero Ultra, which isn't a new flavor to my collection but it does have a Call of Duty ad to make it a variant I didn't have yet.

As long as people keep drinking them, I'll keep collecting them.

Sponge Bob

Are you ready, kids?

As last week's post said, I recently visited my daughter in college.  One of her favorite sodas is Poppi, which I've done many posts about here.  But she also likes OLIPOP.  So I'm glad she got these special edition cans for me.

They are Pineapple Paradise flavored and feature Spongebob Squarepants.

I did see a few more yellow cans in her refrigerator, so they are either doubles of these or more designs coming.  I'll certainly feature them again if there are more designs.

Aye, aye, Captain.

Korean Taste Test

While visiting my daughter at college this weekend, she took us to a place that specializers in weird drinks (there's also food there).  She had found some small 8.05 fl oz cans there of various fruit juices and thought we could have a taste test with all four flavors.

We bought one of each can and waited for the other drinks to be made.  The cans are from Korea.

We got back to her apartment and the four of us tried each one, pouring 1/4 of each can into 4 glasses.  Each claimed to be pure fruit juice.  We like fruit juice, so this should be fun.

Orange - Very thick pulp.  None of us like pulp.  

Grape - The can had four peeled, soggy, gooey grapes inside.  Coincidentally, each glass we poured into was awarded with one of the gross grapes.

Peach - Pure peach juice, no solids present.

Pear - Small white floaties, assuming small pieces of pear floating inside.

The results... peach won by far!  Although 75% disgusting, the taste test was fun nonetheless.

Pure Energy

As I've stated here before, I see a lot of energy drink cans at work.

Here are three of my recent acquisitions.  C4 strawberry blast, V8 strawberry kiwi sparkling energy drink, and Gorilla Mind bombsicle.  I was told that last one was very good, tasted just like the famous bomb pops.

Maybe my co-workers just need to get more sleep at night?
