Three Doctors in the House

These have been in my pantry for a while, so it's time to clear out the doctors.

This first is a regular Dr Pepper blackberry can.  I did a post on the Zero Sugar variant about a year ago.

The second is a 16oz College Football Playoff National Championship can for Miami.

The third is a can from Jurassic World: Rebirth.  This one is #1 Mososaurus in what seems to be an eleven can collection.  Ouch.

The doctors have now been retired (to my collection), waiting for newer replacements to come along.

An Energetic Week

I found an assortment of energy drink cans this week that looks like this:

First is a new brand for me, Shaka Tea.  This flavor is guava ginger.  I do like the design of the can.  A visit to their website displays an unfortunate message that the company has closed.  The tea will still be available for a few months but once the supply is gone then it's gone.  Does that make these limited edition cans then?

The next two are a couple Zyn Tumeric Wellness drinks.  These two cans are mango lychee and pomegranate cranberry.  Conan Gray made the right decision to not call his song "Pomegranate Cranberry".

And finally is the newest flavor in my Alani collection, blue slush.  As always, nothing but high praise for the look and colors of these cans.

The ironic part of this post is I've been sick lately and I sure could have used a little extra energy.  None of these cans came from me.  I stuck to bottled water.  Is that the problem?

A Little Probiotic Assortment

With my daughter home from college on winter break, I came into possession of a few more 7.5oz cans of probiotic sodas.

For Olipop, I now have the classic grape can.

For Poppi, I now have orange, raspberry rose, and strawberry lemon cans.

But don't worry.  It wasn't just the little cans she drank, she tried a lot more flavors in 12oz cans which will eventually make it to this blog.

Happy New Year

A Christmas Gift

One morning before Christmas there was a strange-looking box on my desk at work.

I moved it aside and kept working.  A little while later someone asked if I liked the box they got me.  Oh, that's where it came from?  They asked if I opened it.  Not yet.  So I opened it.

Inside was an assortment of cans a couple of my co-workers had collected (well, saved from the trash can) for me.

The motley collection of cans included La Croix tangerine, La Croix berry, Zero Sugar Sunkist orange soda, Zero Sugar Cherry Dr Pepper, the newest Ski can, and Zevia cream soda.

That was awesome, but then I felt bad I hadn't got them anything.  I looked in the trash can to find a couple gifts for them but the good stuff had already been fished out.

Merry Christmas

Holiday Sprite

Here's a neat can that's in the holiday spirit.  Or should I say the "holiday Sprite"?

This is a limited edition flavor for the holidays.  Winter Spiced Cranberry.  I was told it was good.  And I love the green/white/red holiday colors and design.

Now I need someone to give me a Santa Clause Coca-Cola can.  Maybe it'll be under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. 

More Monsters

 In the last week or two I've collected a few new Monster Energy Drink cans.

The first is Bad Apple.  Once a UK exclusive, it's now available in the US and described as "sinfully good".  The person who gave this to me agreed that it was a good flavor.  You don't see many apple-flavored drinks.

The next is Rio Punch.  The colors and design of the can are very appealing.  Again, it was given a good taste-review by the person who drank it.

And finally, a regular Monster Energy Drink with an in-game reward advertisement for the recently released Call of Duty Black Ops 7.  I'm not sure what the rewards are, but you can try to scan the code from the pic to redeem them.

Even the joyful holiday season produces more Monsters for my collection.  Keep 'em coming...

Variation on a Cream

A year and a half ago I posted about a Dr Pepper & Cream Soda can I got from a guy at work.  Last week, the same guy brought this can to me.

He said he thought it was different.  I thought the same.  I took the can in case it was a variation, and I'm glad I did.  I got home, checked this site and found my original post.  The tan background used to be a solid color.  And now, there are yellow swirls over the tan.

I was impressed he noticed the difference, and even more impressed he remembered to check with me to see if I had it.  He's given me several other cans since then, so maybe he'll spot some other variations for my collection.
