All Mountain Dews

As hinted at in last week's post, I pulled all of my Mountain Dew cans to show what I've collected over the years.

Here are all of my 12oz Mountain Dew cans.  While setting them up, I found a few favorites that I haven't seen in a while.  The two World of Warcraft Game Fuel cans have always topped my list of favs.  And I like the old steel cans, shown in the lower left corner of the pic.  And I don't remember where I got the Mountain Dew X test can (silver can up front in lower right corner), but it's a cool addition to the collection.

And here are my larger cans in the Mountain Dew lineup.  I especially like the fancy Black, Green, and White Label cans in the lower right corner.

And there you have it.  I could never dew this with my Coca-Cola or Pepsi cans, I have WAY too many.  Either would essentially be a mountain of cans.

More New Dews

And this week brought two more Mountain Dew cans to me.

This week I snagged another Baja flavor, Tropical Citrus Punch.  Is there no end to new flavors?

I also grabbed the first Dirty Mountain Dew, which is a cream soda flavor.

I've received a lot of Mountain Dew cans recently, so it made me wonder how many I have in my collection now.  It'll take some digging, but I plan on posting a pic of the Dew collection next week.  It will mainly be the normal 12oz size cans.  The bigger or slim cans are in a different part of my collection.  Now let's hope I find the time to dew it.

BUBBL'Rs

This week I feature three new BUBBL'R cans people have saved for me.

These are antioxidant sparkling waters that boost, energize, and restore balance (in case you can't read what the can says, haha).  This week's flavors are Peach Raspberry Dazzl'r, Tropical Dream'r, and Wild Cherry Chill'r.

These are some pretty cool designs.  I'm not sure they could make them any cool'r.

Java Monsters

These have been in my pantry for a while.  So it's time to get them out of there.

These are two Java Monster coffee energy drinks.  The first is Loca Moca and the second one Salted Caramel.  The second one sounds tasty to me.  I'm not sure where I got these, but I'm glad they found their way to me.

I drink black coffee every morning just to get going.  I can't imagine what coffee + energy would do for me.  And I'll probably never find out.

More Energy, Please

Last week I got a text from one of my can contributors that said he left a bag of cans for me on his patio.  So I went by after work to see what was there.

I found a bag of cans.  When I got home, I pulled these cans from the bag.

There were three colorful, nicely-designed Monster Energy Drink cans.  They were Ultra Punch Punch, Ultra Red White & Blue Razz, and Voodoo Grape.  Awesome.

Also included was my first Gorilla Energy Drink can, Watermelon Melon.

Unlike doctors nowadays, I do make housecalls.  So if you have a bag of cans for me, just leave them outside your house and send me a text.  I'll be by after work to get them.  Thanks.

Work Bonus

I went to work yesterday to film the entire building, inside and out, for insurance reasons.  This meant I had full-access to everywhere, including places I've never seen before.  One of those mystery places was the lunchroom in the main office.  And what did I find there?

Oh, just a can collector's dream.  Carefully rummaging through the bin I pulled out some cans (on the counter) I didn't think I had.  Unfortunately, all of the tabs had been removed.  But a can without its tab is better than no can at all.

After getting home and cleaning them up, I realized I did have a couple of them already.  But I still walked away with 11 new cans, including a nice Diet Mountain Dew to replace the rescued one I posted about last year.

Sure, I made a couple hours of overtime.  But the real bonus was new cans for my collection!

Tropical Lime

There's no end to new flavors!

A co-worker saved this Mountain Dew Baja Blast can for me.  The flavor is Tropical Lime.  

Not much else to say except "Thanks" to them.
