Sunkist Halloween

And for the final post in this Halloween season, we see a Sunkist holiday can out in the autumnal wilds.

And here we have a couple of pumpkin heads enjoying a flavorful orange drink.

A couple of smiles from orange BFF's.

The Halloween season is coming to a close.  It's been fun watching for seasonal backgrounds to use with  seasonal cans.  But there's a part of me that's ready to get back to featuring video game cans and new designs.  And before we know it...  Christmas will be here.

A&W Halloween

The sun was setting and I could hear the vampires preparing to come out for breakfast.

Tattered strips of cloth from careless mummies littered the dead branches and thorny bushes.

I stepped in a pile of green goo, only to realize it was the ectoplasmic remains of some ghostly party in the woods the previous night.

The old witch's hut was just beyond the hill dotted with grave markers of the sickly frontiersmen that passed through these parts 150 years ago.

And then I found the perfect spot to take pictures of this year's A&W Halloween can... deep in the Haunted Woods.

It may not have happened exactly like that, but it's what I imagined as I trekked through the nature preserve outside of town to take these pictures.  Besides, who could be scared with a can showing such a cute little wolf man and his jack-o-lantern?  BOO!  Less than two weeks away...

7Up Halloween

The leaves are changing color and falling.  The mornings and evenings are cool enough for a jacket.  The sun comes up later and later each morning, while setting earlier and earlier each evening.

And I got my first Dr Pepper Snapple Group holiday can yesterday.  Each fall their 7Up, A&W, Sunkist, Canada Dry, Welch's, and Sun Drop cans receive the Halloween treatment with designs featuring iconic monsters or other scary themes.

I've never completed a set, but it's still fun getting just a few.

October Loco

A co-worker gave this can of Monster energy drink to me last week.  It's one of the coolest cans I have now.  And in the spirit of taking pictures of spooky cans in autumnal backgrounds, I carried it with me today in search of the perfect background.  And I finally found it... a farmers market.

This Monster Juice is "mango loco" flavor.  I didn't get to try it, the can was empty when it was given to me.  But I was told it was very good!

On the back of the can is a short story about Halloween.  By the way, Halloween is only three and a half weeks away.  It'll be here soon...

October Is Here

Fall is here.  October is here.  My favorite time of year is here.  

This month I will be featuring some of my favorite Spooky/Halloween cans.  

The first can is Refresco de Los Muertos energy drink.  It means "Refreshment of the Dead" in Spanish.  Nice.  A friend gave this to me after he returned from a vacation in Dallas, Texas, this summer.

What better place to take a picture of the Refreshment of the Dead than a cemetery?  This is the cemetery where my grandparents, aunt, and uncle are buried.  This is not one of their tombstones, it was just an interesting one near the cornfield ready for harvest.
