An Early Christmas Gift

Last weekend I was with a couple people doing some Christmas shopping.  At one store, I finished shopping before they did so I went to the car to wait.  Glancing around the parking lot I saw a couple of cans sitting on the base of a light post.

I waited for a couple to leave their nearby car before I went out and looked at the cans.  One was a regular Pepsi can, the other a Shnucks grape soda.

I have some older Schnucks cans in my collection, but I certainly didn't have one this new. 

When the others in my group returned to the car, we discussed the gifts we had bought for other people.  I finished by saying I also got an early Christmas gift... someone's used soda can!
