Another Rescue

Lately I've been collecting Mountain Dew cans with their new logo.  Last week in the top of a trash can at work I saw the new logo on a Diet Mountain Dew can, which I didn't have yet.  But the problem was whoever drank it was a "squeezer", one who feels the need to squeeze the can before throwing it away.

But many years ago I did post about a tool I have that can pop the cans back into shape from the inside.  I haven't used the tool for a while, but I got it out and was able to get this can back into decent shape.

It's not perfect, there are still a couple small dents and creases, but until I find a can in better shape for my collection this one will definitely dew, I mean definitely do.

Yes, I thoroughly cleaned the can before touching it with my hands.  There is some etiquette to can collecting.

Happy 6th of July!!!

Ok, so this is a couple days late.

A couple weeks ago someone texted a pic of this can to me and asked if I had it.  Nope!  So they bought it, drank it, and gave it to me.

It's a 16oz Cherry-flavored Coca-Cola can.  But what makes the design so neat is the American flag they were able to represent on the shapes of Coca-Cola bottles.  There's the blue/white star field in the upper left and the white/red stripes on the rest of the bottles.

This was a good can to release during the 4th of July season.  What's next for big red?
