One Can to Reign Them All

So I picked up a cool energy drink can recently from someone.  It's called Reign.

This is sour apple flavored.  I didn't get to try it, but the person who drank it said it's pretty good.

The back of the can lists all the "benefits" from drinking it.  From the looks of it, you pretty much turn into Superman after just one can.  Not bad for just a couple bucks.

3D Cans

Someone recently handed me this empty 3D energy drink can.  It's very cool for a few reasons:

• The colors have a matte finish, not a glossy shine like most cans
• The flavor isn't printed anywhere on the can!
• I commented it looks like a Bomb Pop.  And he said that's exactly what it tasted like.

A few days later he had some more cans for me.  He had gone back and tried all the flavors they had.

I'm not sure which 3D cans are cooler.  These five cans or the real 3D cans I got from Japan.

Gloe Cans

 

It's been a while since I've seen cans in a store and bought them just because I need them for my collection.  But that's what happened last Tuesday when I was in another town and saw these two cans in a Walmart.

Several years ago coconut water became all the rage.  I didn't have any coconut water cans and before I knew it I was passing them up in stores, there were just too many to collect.  A couple of years ago I heard the next thing coming was aloe water.  And these are my first two aloe water cans.

They are labeled as a "Plant Infused Sparkling Water Beverage."  They are also certified USDA Organic.  They are only 5 calories per can.  And the flavors sound delicious.

The first is blood orange (fruit of the Florida vampire, I suppose).  I've got a few other blood orange-flavored cans, but I wasn't the one who drank them.  So I can't wait to try this one.














The other is Fuji apple & pear.  Just the thought of that flavor makes my mouth water.














Not only are they going to be a good refreshing drink, but I suppose the aloe would also be soothing if your esophagus should get sunburned. 

Rockstar

Just when you think you've figured out a storage/organization solution for all of your cans, the collection hits another level and it's back to the drawing board.  That's happened several times to me in the last few years.  Currently most of them are in well-labeled boxes.  Not all of the boxes are easily accessible, but "I know they're here somewhere."

Some of the boxes are dedicated to just one brand.  I recently added a few new Rockstar energy drink cans to my collection and found the Rockstar box.  So I decided to take stock of the Rockstars I've collected since 2011.  If I had been dedicated to just this brand, I would have a LOT more of them, but this is just one of hundreds of brands I've collected in the last eight years, so it may not look like much.

Maybe if I feel "energetic" I'll take a picture of my Monster energy drink collection.  I have 38 Rockstar cans.  I have 108 Monster cans.
