Cape Girardeau, MO

I went on a road trip to Cape Girardeau today with a couple of people.  It was our first time there, so we checked out the local junk stores and commercial shopping (after the historical sites).  I found three cans I didn't have.

Today's new cans

Old design
Toby Mac
At Big Lots I found the Sparkling Clementine Izze.  The only Izze I had in my collection was Sparkling Apple.  So I doubled my Izze count.

I also found the Sugar Free Rockstar at Big Lots.  I had one already but this is an updated version of the can.

The last can I found was a Mtn Dew can with an ad for a free download of a Colton Dixon song.  I already had a can for a free Toby Mac song.  I wonder how many artists Mtn Dew did this for.

I did see several more soda cans at antique stores but I wasn't willing to pay the $5-8 per can they were asking.  If I could sell each of my cans for that much, I'd sell them all in a heartbeat and then I'd have plenty of money to buy more cans.

  1. I love the Pepsi and mountain dew ad cans. Did you get any extra of these?

  2. No extras. Unfortunately I've only got one of each.

    1. I got it in the restaurant where we ate lunch. They had a fridge of different sodas you could buy, so I bought one of those since I didn't have the can. I assume they got the cans locally in the Cape Girardeau area (southwest Missouri).

    1. Unfortunately I have no extras of that can. I only bought one that day and haven't seen another since.

    2. Is the one you have for sale at all?

    3. The cans aren't for sale. I traded a few times when I first started collecting, but haven't done that in a while. If I should decide to sell I'll post here.
