Alani Two

Last week at work I saw this sitting on a shelf...

It can be embarrassing the first time I ask someone new for the can when they're done, but it has to be done.  So I asked her, she said I could have it (with a confused look), then I explained my collection.

Alani Nu cans have great designs.  And I didn't have a Pink Slush yet.  But now I do.

Later in the week I got home from work and saw a can by the curb in front of my house.  It turned out to be this Alani Nu Cotton Candy.  What are the odds I'd find two Alani Nu cans in one week?

A double-can victory.  And now it's Father's Day.  Will more cans be coming my way?  

Party Favor

Yesterday I went to a graduation party and what did I see sitting on a window ledge?

A Starbucks energy drink.

Someone had brought it to the party and when done they set it on the window ledge to give to me later.  It's Watermelon Twist and they said it was really good.  I guess a little energy boost at a party never hurts.

I wasn't expecting to get a gift at the party for recent graduates, but I'll take it!  And I did.

DiGiorno

My collection didn't have a 7.5 oz mini Diet Pepsi can yet.  But now it does...

Walmart had a coupon if you buy two DiGiorno pizzas you get a free 6-pack of mini Pepsi.  I chose the pizza flavors and my kids chose the Pepsi flavor.

One of the more tasty ways I've added a new can to my collection...

Chill

Earlier this year I got this cool can.

It's a Sprite Chill.  The flavor is cherry lime.  The person who drank it said it was really good, and different for a Sprite flavor.

As this Memorial Day weekend is a little chillier than some, I thought it'd be appropriate to feature this can.  Have a good Memorial Day!

Do I Collect Dinosaurs?

Last week a guy at work asked if I collect themed cans.  Yes.  He said, "What about dinosaur-themed?"  YES!

That's when I found out yet another Jurassic World movie is coming out.  And as usual, there's a series of cans based on the new movie.

This one is labeled #3 Quetzalcoatlus.  Neat can design.  

I gave up trying to collect entire series years ago, but if some of the cans fall in my lap I'll gladly take them.  I haven't watched the trailer yet for this newest movie, but I might.  I'm more interested in just collecting the cans though.

Graduation Gift

My daughter graduated from college yesterday.  And on the trip I got a new can.

This is another Alani Nu energy drink can, Orange Kiss.  The cans are so artful.  This can came from my daughter's friend.  She saved it for me in case I didn't have it yet.  And I didn't.

My daughter may have received a diploma from a great college yesterday, but I got a new can for my collection.

A Peachy Day for Golf

Well, today we tried to go golfing at a different course than the one from two weeks ago, but the course was closed.  We've had a lot of rain recently and the ground was too wet.  As a consolation gift, the lady at the club house said we could putt around on the practice green and do some chipping for free.  So we spent about 1-1.5 hours getting better by practicing in the chilly breeze with gray clouds overhead threatening to make the ground even wetter.

And then my golf buddy broke out his Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach.

So the day wasn't a total loss.  We got some much-needed practice and I got a much-needed can for my collection.
