Four Red Cans

Here are some new cans from the last couple of weeks.  What do they have in common?

It's my first Clear American brand can.  And also my first Bubly.  But the peach Nehi and strawberry Fanta are new designs of cans cans I already had.

And that's about it.  Red cans. 

Stranger Cans

I just got two Limited Edition Coca-Cola cans based on the Netflix series Stranger Things.

For those unfamiliar with the series, it takes place in the 1980's.  So for this tie-in promotion, the red Coke can is actually the formula for New Coke which debuted in 1985.  If you missed out the first time around, now's your chance to taste the updated flavor that rocked the cola world!!!

The back of the red can even states "Original Taste" at the top, referring to the "1985 Limited Edition" printed on the front of the can.  For more info on the series and the promo, you can scan the bottle icon on the back of the can.

The Coca-Cola Zero can is really cool because when stood upright it shows the usual logo with the red circle behind the text, but when the can is turned upside down it shows a scene of dead trees and everything dark and dreary... just like the Upside-Down in the show.









I've seen season one of the series, but now need to catch up since season three just came out earlier this month.  Whether you're a fan of the show or a fan of collectible cans, these are definitely worth tracking down for your collection.

Dr Pepper Ten Commandments

Last week at church someone brought a can of Dr Pepper Ten to me and said he noticed it looked different.  It looked a little different to me too, so I took a pic of it in the pew and would investigate later when I had the can back at my house...










Back home I was able to check my can collection website and I found a pic of the TEN can I got in 2011.

Can from 2019

Can from 2011

Yes, there is a difference.  The original TEN can had maroon swirls behind the Dr Pepper logo and the print near the bottom of the can was maroon.  This new can has gray behind the Dr Pepper logo, the same gray as the rest of the can.  And the lettering near the bottom of the can is white.

When did this change happen?  Was it a while ago and we just noticed it?  Or is it truly a brand new design?  I could probably Google it and I find out but I'm going to leave this one a mystery...

Orange is the New Can

Orange can #1 - Clemson orange soda

The Clemson Tigers are a football team from Clemson University in South Carolina.  One side of the can shows they were the 1982 Orange Bowl Champions.

The other side of the can shows their perfect 12-0 season from 1981.















Orange can #2 - Whistle orange soda

Whistle is the brand of orange soda from the larger brand Vess.  This is the 75th anniversary special edition can from 1991.














Orange can #3 - Orangette orange soda

This is a modern-day can of Walmart orange soda.  Notice Walmart's star icon on the side of the can.

Independence Day

Happy Independence Day in the USA

Which means it's time to feature this week's new red, white, and blue cans!

RED = A couple of weeks ago I did a post about tall Coke cans I recently got.  None of them were just the standard, plain Coca-Cola can.  But now, I have one of those too.

WHITE = A Sprite Zero Sugar can found me this week.  So now it resides in a box in my basement.

BLUE = There was a big commotion about the St. Louis Blues recently and this commemorative Pepsi can explains why... they are the 2019 Stanley Cup Champions.  Ok.

Have a safe and happy July 4th.  And 5th and 6th, ad nauseam...
