WoW, Yet Another New Can

I went to my son's Christmas program for band at school last weekend and someone brought this little gem to me...

It's the second can in the new Mtn Dew Game Fuel World of Warcraft series.

Last month I featured the other WoW can, and now I have both of them.  This one is citrus blackberry flavored and I was told it was really good.

So let's keep the video game cans coming.  Probably my biggest hobby, second to can collecting of course, would be video games.  So let's keep combining them!

A Racoon?

I got this can from someone recently.  They thought it'd be a good breakfast drink.  Lots to unpack...


  • First, this is my first Chamberlain Coffee brand can.  I'm not even sure where it's sold.  
  • Second, it's cinnamon bun-flavored latte.  Doesn't sound like it could be any sweeter.  But...
  • Third, in the red circle it says this has a "sweeter recipe".  Ouch.
  • Fourth, it's made with oatmilk.  I can't knock it since I haven't had it.  But nah.
  • Fifth, a racoon playing with a cinnamon roll?

And no, they didn't like the taste of this.  But it sure is an interesting can to have anyway.

Shirley Temple

At a Thanksgiving gathering a few days ago I noticed a new can.


This Shirley Temple 7UP.  I asked what's in a Shirley Temple and was told it's usually just a white soda with grenadine.  My next question was what is grenadine?  I was told just a sweeter version of a cherry syrup, but after Googling it I found out most people mistake it for cherry but it's actually pomegranate.  Who knew I'd fall down a Shirley Temple rabbit hole on Thanksgiving!  

This year I give thanks for my many new cans.

WoW, Another New Can

Someone at work brought this new Mtn Dew Game Fuel can to me last week.


They said the citrus cherry flavor was pretty good.  But for me the main attraction is World of Warcraft.  The game came out in November 2004 and I started playing it in January 2005.  I've played on and off for the last 20 years.  Btw, the game is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary.

I love the Game Fuel cans!  Mostly because I'm a gamer.  But does this can give a hint as to something coming in the future?   World of Warcraft.  Xbox.  I doubt it.

OREO

Someone brought this can to me at work.

It's a limited time Coca-Cola flavor or OREO!  A small 7.5 oz can, assumedly because one can't handle the taste in servings larger than that, haha.  A few people I know tried this one and none of them cared for it.  But the can does have a very interesting design; the black, white, and red and the stack of cookies down the front.

A fizzy cookie flavor.  Think I'll pass on this one...

Even More Poppi's

A visit from my daughter this weekend brought two new Poppi cans to my collection.

This time it's Orange Cream and Wild Berry.

What started her down the Poppi Road?  The can on the right.  She saw it in the store and liked the can design so much she bought it to try.  Liking it, she started buying other flavors.  And Poppi has a LOT of them.  

I like to encourage my kids to pursue their interests.  Especially when it means more cans for me :)

Another Poppi

I visited my daughter at college yesterday and she had a gift for me.

This is my fifth Poppi can and there are plenty more to collect.  I featured my first four in a post a couple of months ago.

This is the standard grape flavor, which she said is good but standard.

The exciting news is she has 5 more flavors in her dorm ready to try!  So those cans will be coming to me soon...
