More Peace

A couple of years ago my daughter went to a youth leadership conference in Texas and brought back a nice set of Peace Tea cans for me.

Last week, she saw a couple of different flavors and bought them for me.

Mango green tea and Razzleberry.  We drank the mango and boy was that good.  Peace Tea is so flavorful.  Next up... Razzleberry.

We can always use more Peace...

New Bang

A few years ago I posted about some bang energy drink cans I got.

And now, I have a new one.

This one is a bit more colorful.  And it's a flavor I've never seen before in another brand: Frose Rose.

I wasn't the one who drank this, so I'm not sure how it tastes.  But there doesn't seem to be much to it:  0 carbs, 0 sugars, 0 calories, 0 artifical colors.

And strangest of all, it has a rating icon that says "Not intended for individuals under the age of 18." 

So, kids, you've got two big things to look forward to when you turn 18: being able to go to an R-rated movie without adult supervision and afterwards grabbing a can of bang to really get the evening going!!

Waterloo

Water.  It's in the name... Waterloo.  The old-fashioned font and background designs are very appealing.  It claims to have "Legendary Taste" right on the can!  There are three delicious summer-sounding flavors: Black Cherry, Strawberry, and Watermelon.  And a case of it is cheap!  

But is it any good?

Not to the person who gave their case to me.  But I've had all three flavors now and they're not that bad.  And in these times of stocking up and preparing for the worst, having a little extra water won't hurt.  

Especially since it's yummy.

A Nice Save

I glanced in the aluminum recycle bin yesterday at work and sitting right on top was a can I didn't have yet.  But there was only one problem... we have a "squeezer" in the office. 

Can you tell what most of these cans have in common?  Whoever drinks them squeezes the can when they're done.  I guess it's the final blow when they're finished drinking it.  In the video game Mortal Kombat it's called a Fatality!

I rescued the brown can of "premium cold brew coffee" and took it to my desk for assessment.

It was going to be tough, but I think with the use of a special tool I had at home I'd be able to bring this can back from the grave.

Back in 2012 I did a post about the tool used to push dents out from the inside of the can.  It's worked miracles in the past.  Could it work another one?

Once I was home I cleaned the can of its putrid stale coffee smell.  Then I let the tool do its job.  A push here, a twist there, and within 30 seconds the operation was complete.  It was another success.  I looked at the full-figured can sitting before me and muttered, "Nice!"

So this can has been released into the basement with my other free-range cans to play with others who may or may not even notice its few dimples and dents. 

And that's how this nice! can was given a second lease on life.
