Mule

A new week, a new can.


Someone gave this to me at work.  They needed a pick-me-up to get them going one morning.  I'm assuming it's a coffee, I didn't ask.  But ginger brew sounds like a coffee.

Nice, artistic can.  Who couldn't use a mule?

New VooDew

And here's the 2024 version of the Mtn Dew VooDew can:


Just in time for Halloween.  I know a couple people who've tried this.  One said it was a cherry flavor, another said more like strawberry.  I'm not sure which it is, but it does sound good!  And Mtn Dew continues their awesome, colorful can designs.

Instead of candy this year, consider handing this out to Trick-or-Treaters.  The parents will love that...

Saving the Standards

Last week I saved two cans from the recycle bin at work.


What's so special about them?  Nothing.  In fact, I had to doublecheck when I got home that I didn't have them yet.  These are the newest designs of just the regular Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper cans.  And seeing them so often I had just assumed I had them already.  But something told me to check.  And I'm glad it told me because I didn't have them yet.

It's kind of the same idea of procrastinating to watch that movie on a streaming service because "it'll always be there".  And then the movie gets removed and you missed your chance.  Grab the standards before they're gone!

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

A movie came out this weekend called "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice".

I went to a birthday party yesterday and was given this Fanta can featuring Beetlejuice from the new movie.  I loved the old movie and cannot wait to see this sequel.

The flavor is Haunted Apple.  I was told it tastes very good!  I sure hope the movie's just as good as this soda review, haha.

So here's to hoping in other 36 years we see the finale of this movie trilogy, "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice".

Peach Waterloo

Waterloo sparkling water has been featured on this blog before.  Here's the newest can in my collection.

This can came from work.  Someone brought in a case of this peach flavored water and to be honest, it lasted quite a while.  It turns out a lot of people don't care for the bland taste of sparkling water.  But that's ok, it means more for me.

And to be honest, I also think it's bland.  But I like it.

Monster Variants

In February of this year I featured a Monster Energy Ultra Rosa can.  It had a red/pink top which matched the color of the rest of the can.  But recently I ended up with this silver-topped version pictured below.

In January of this year I featured a Monster Energy Ultra Sunshine can.  The words "Zero Sugar" were printed in white.  Recently I ended up with this "Zero Sugar" can with the words printed in black.

So it depends on how far you want to take your collection.  Are you happy with just having one can for each flavor?  Or do you feel the need to find every version of that flavor, all color differences and variations of text?

I've gotta collect them all!

A Short Week

This week I'm showing two short cans.  


I recently got this newer 7.5oz Coca-Cola Zero Sugar can.  Nothing too fancy about it other than its nice red/black contrast.

I also found this 8oz can of Shasta ginger ale in my pantry.  Not sure where I got it or how long it's been in there, but it's time to move it to the collection with the rest of the cans.

And I just noticed the red and green colors of the cans.  This could have been a "Christmas in July" post had I written it a few weeks ago.
