On Hiatus


Well, folks, the first phase of this blog (consisting of 225 posts) had a pretty good run.  So it is with regret that I have to walk away for a little while.  Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn.  The small turns are easy to handle, but it's the big ones that you don't see coming that cause the problems!

I still have my can collection and will continue to add to it.  But things have changed and I'm not able to dedicate the time I once had to maintain this blog.  It was fun.  I'm definitely going to miss it.  And I appreciate all the comments and emails I got from readers.  For some time now I've wanted to start a weekly feature to show some of the cool emails/questions I've had in the last 2.5 years regarding cans.  But I couldn't find the time to get it started.  And although I have enough Faygo pics to do a couple more months of Faygo Fridays, that will also have to wait.  I just hope that when I do return to blogging, my current readers will return and I'll be able to attract even more.

Can collecting is obviously alive and well as a hobby.  And it's something I plan on doing for a LONG time.  I've loved sharing my stories and helping others with their collections.  But for now I've got to disappear for a while...

Faygo Friday #13


















During Faygo's 70th anniversary in 1977, they had a series of cans featuring photos of various people who, I'm assuming, liked to drink Faygo.

This week's can shows a boy who's excited about sneaking a drink from his sister's redpop when she's not looking.  On the back of the can is a brief message from the president of Faygo describing the quality of the beverage.


Come back next Friday for the next Faygo...

Faygo Friday #12


















During Faygo's 70th anniversary in 1977, they had a series of cans featuring photos of various people who, I'm assuming, liked to drink Faygo.

This week's can shows a girl who's happy just thinking about drinking orange soda.  On the back of the can is a brief message from the president of Faygo describing the quality of the beverage.

This week's can shows a boy drinking Big Draft Root Beer.  On the back of the can is a brief history of Faygo.
