Today is our 12th wedding anniversary. Last year I posted about the
cruise to the Bahamas we took for our 11th anniversary and the few cans that came back with us from the trip. One of them was the controversial 2011 white "Arctic Home" Coca-Cola can.

During one of the shows aboard the cruise ship (on Nov 12), the couple we were sitting with was enjoying the show with a 6-pack of Coke and a bottle of whiskey. My eyes were all over the white Coke cans and I finally broke down and asked him if I could have one. Of course he didn't mind at all. So I carried that can with me from the ship to the hotel to the airport and back home. When we got home I wrote the date 11-12-11 on the bottom of it to remind me when I got it.
It wasn't long before those cans showed up at stores in my area and a Coke-drinking co-worker brought in a 12-pack of them. So I was able to bottom-open one for my collection. I've replaced top-opened cans with bottom-opened cans before and I always put the unneeded top-opened ones in my trade pile. But in this case, I had to keep the top-opened white Coke can from our cruise.
So as of this post, it's the only can I've kept both top- and bottom-opened versions of.
And I thank my wife for putting up with my cans for a year and a half now and I hope she can put up with them for many years to come.
