A Small Prebiotic Update

This week I got more small prebiotic cans.

More little Poppi's.  Flavors include Cream Soda, Shirley Temple, Strawberry Lemon, and Wild Berry.

Are prebiotic beverages a fad?  I don't know, I don't care.  But it provides more cans for my collection.

Pure Energy

Well, another week and more energy drink cans found their way to me.

This week I got cans from four different brands.

The first is Gorilla Mind, White Gummy Bear.  There's no end to the flavors that come out.

The second is another Monster, this one being Ultra Red, White, and Blue Razz.

The third is C4, Cereal Killer.  I love that name and I bet it tasted good.

The fourth is Reign, Liberty & Justice for Apple.  HAHA!

This years marks America's 250th birthday so there are a lot of beverages coming out in that theme.  And when America turns 300 I'll collect those cans too!

New Designs

This week I got a couple of new designs from some old favorites.


The 7Up can is Zero Sugar Cherry-flavored.  The A&W is Zero Sugar Root Beer Float.  Both got a good review from the person who drank them.

Now let's get back to the obscure cans...

Stay Hydrated

During the recent heat wave, I kept hearing "Stay Hydrated".  That means finding cans of sparkling water for my collection.


These two cans came to me this week.  I hadn't heard of either brand before.

The first is Select Fare, a yummy-looking Sparkling Watermelon flavor.  The second is Topo Chico, this one being Lime with Mint flavor.

Whether it's soda or water (or tea or coffee or energy drink or juice, etc.), people need to stay hydrated and keep giving me their cans.

More Flavors

My daughter is home for the summer.  And she's made it a goal to try as many prebiotic sodas as she can.  I've encouraged her to keep up the good work (it gets me more cans).


Recent additions to my collection are above.  The main three brands she drinks are Bloom Pop, Olipop, and Poppi.  I'm not sure why all the names have to be so similar, must be a prebiotic soda rule.

She may drink the same flavor more than once because she's aware of can variants.  I've taught her well.  

And summer isn't over, so I can expect more prebiotic cans to come.

Phorm

Last week I looked in a barrel at work and saw something interesting.


Inside were these three cans.  Quick note: when I find cans in the wild like that they get a very thorough cleaning before being processed and added to my collection.

So I saved them from imminent destruction and added a new brand to my collection.  Quick fact: I had never heard of this energy drink before and now I own Grape Smash, Screamin' Freedom, and Silver Lightning.

Quick tip: Always be aware of your surroundings.  Cans be hiding anywhere.

Olipop Week

The prebiotics continue to dominate the air waves.


Four new Olipop cans from my daughter.  These flavors are Banana Cream, Crisp Apple, Ginger Ale, and Raspberry Sherbet.

She's loving the sodas and I'm loving the cans.  More to come...
