Dews and Don'ts

DEWS:
In the mystery delivery of cans I blogged about last weekend, I got one of my most-wanted cans from 2019: Mtn Dew VooDew.

Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year.  And by the time I heard about this can last November, stores around here didn't have them anymore.  I could have gone on eBay and spent more than it was worth to get one, but I realized it's not the first Halloween-themed can I don't have and it won't be the last.

So even though the tab has been removed, I was more than excited to finally get one of these cans.  Btw, the mystery flavor was Candy Corn.

Also in the bunch were two more Mtn Dew cans I'm not sure I have.  In my recent spare time, I've been organizing the basement which means moving boxes of cans around.  And currently all my Mtn Dew cans are in the bottom box in a large stack. 


So I'll have to classify these two cans as "maybes."  I'm pretty sure I have the Live Wire, but I'm not sure about the Taco Bell flavor Baja Blast.








DON'TS
-Don't drink after someone who has the Coronavirus.
-Don't let anyone drink after you if you have the Coronavirus.
-Don't wait too long to look for a special holiday-themed can.

Mystery Delivery of Cans

During the current stay-at-home orders, I haven't gone anywhere but the grocery store and family and friends' homes.  I was surprised to find a mystery delivery of cans on my back deck this morning.

I think I know who put them there, but I'll have to verify that.  So now I will go through the pile and see if there are any cans I don't have.  I'll clean them up and see if any are worth posting about in coming weeks.  And then they'll head to the basement or garage to be with my other cans.

Doubly Bubly

These two cans made it to my house recently.  I've seen the bubly brand at Walmart.

Eight-packs of these were given to us from two different families because they didn't like them.  If you're looking for a sweet, flavorful alternative to plain water, keep looking.  But if you look at it as water with a slight hint of flavoring, you should be ok.  And if you're looking for a beverage that if you're not thinking about the flavor printed on the can then you may mistake it for plain water, this is perfect.

I do like the tab colors that match the flavor.  And they do have funny sayings printed on the sides...

But in my experience of drinking this "sparkling water," I didn't find many bubbles in my bubly.  It falls a little flat.


4/18/20 UPDATE

Since the original post I bought some Strawberry Bubly.  It's as I expected with a bland strawberry taste, but it's still a little better than just plain water.

And this flavor also has a funny saying...

Two New AZ

Two new AriZona tea can designs for my collection:

They are Mucho Mango with its American Southwest look and Raspberry tea with, well, raspberries pictured near the bottom of the can.

Even with stay-at-home orders, new cans are making their way to me...
