It's Finally Mine

There has been a can of Bluebird Grapefruit Juice in the refrigerator at work for months.  I'll check on it about once a week to see if it's still there.  I don't know whose it is, but I know it's a can I don't have in my collection.

And earlier this week... it was gone.

We have two aluminum can recycle bins in the lunchroom, so I checked the first bin.  Not there.  Opening the second bin, I found the golden ticket:

I rescued the Bluebird from its doomed fate and it now resides at home with all of my other cans.

I've never seen a happier Bluebird.

Ginger Ale and Lemonade

Last weekend I went to someone's house where we played a few board games and card games. 

During this card game (Herbaceous for those who are wondering) we were offered drinks.  Someone took a Canada Dry Ginger Ale and Lemonade and I eyed the can until they were finished drinking it.

At that point I offered to throw it away for them and I casually added it to the stack of games I would be taking home with me. 


I've made this story sound like I was being sneaky, but I wasn't.  Everyone knows I collect cans and are no longer surprised when I ask for their empties.

But it's been a while since I've had a new Canada Dry can.  We generally don't drink ginger ale in my house. 

As I learned long ago, you never know where you'll find a new can.  Always be watching!!

Another Game Fuel

I've written about previous Mtn Dew Game Fuels, but this one is cool because it's in an aluminum bottle.

This newest Game Fuel is for the most recent Call of Duty game, Modern Warfare.  It provides double experience for 30 minutes in multiplayer only.

This was given to me by someone who loves Mtn Dew, no matter what the container or flavor is.

Better Late Than Never

The holiday season of 2019 really flew by.  It was over before I knew it.  In fact, I can't believe January is already gone. 

I didn't realize I'd missed the 2019 Coca-Cola holiday can until I walked into my office at work yesterday and saw this can on my desk.  A co-worker said they weren't sure if I had one, so they saved it for me.  I did not have one but now I do.

It's like they say, better late than never.

Red Bull Pea Edition?

Someone gave me a plastic bag with a couple of empty cans in it.  The first can I pulled out was this:

I've always liked the Red Bull special edition cans  They've been featured in a couple of my posts over the years.  But when I pulled this green can out I was shocked to see they had "The Pea Edition."  Who in the world would enjoy a green pea flavored energy drink???

And then I turned the can a little for a better look...

OH!  It's the PEAR Edition.  That makes sense. 

Although it's a cool can to add to my Special Edition section, it's not the unique pea-flavored beverage I originally thought.
