Three Reasons I Kept This Bottle

#1  Moe

#2  Curly

#3  Larry

As I mentioned in a previous post, I generally don't go out of my way to collect bottles.  There are way too many out there.  But every once in a while one comes along I simply cannot pass up.

And that's the case with this Three Stooges root beer bottle someone brought to me from their vacation in Branson, Missouri.  When I was young, the Three Stooges were just as developmental for me as elementary school.  Come to think of it, I probably spent more time with the Stooges than with school, haha.  

The soda is actually branded Rocket Fizz.  And the person who drank the root beer said it was pretty good.

And to end this post, here's a quick exchange between Curly and Moe from the 1938 short "Tassels in the Air."

          Curly: You mean I'm um-day in pig language?

          Moe: You're um-day in any language.

A Monster Assault on Taste

Click bait title.

Introducing Monster energy drink... Assault.

And here's a pic of some info you can read:

I didn't drink this.  Someone else did and saved the can for me.  

Its camouflage makes it hard to find in the jungle.

Kist by the Sun

My son and I were at the store last week and he saw these two flavors of Sunkist soda.

They both sounded so delicious.  Of the two, we decided to get the "NEW" Berry Lemonade flavor.

Doesn't the can make your mouth water?  I believe the psychological trickery used is including the big drops of water in the paint scheme.  It looks like that can has been in a cooler full of ice and is now sweating in the heat, ready for you to drink its ice-cold soda inside.  A very refreshing thought.

It's an old trick that's been used plenty of times, I'm sure, but with the summer heat here now it makes this can look even more enticing.  Maybe the next trip to the store we'll pick up the Strawberry Lemonade.

Rise and Shiny

Someone recently saved these four shiny Mtn Dew Rise energy drink cans for my collection.

The four flavors are Peach Mango Dawn, Pomegranate Blue Burst, Strawberry Melon Spark, and Tropical Sunrise.  I have not had the opportunity to taste any of these, but Mtn Dew sure did a great job at naming them.  In fact, just hearing the enticing flavor names and seeing the spirited designs of the can gives me a little energy.  

As a bonus, each can shows the same information panel telling you that the can contains caffeine equal to 2 cups of coffee.  Zero sugar means calories are low at only 25 per can.  And the stripe near the top of the can claims "Immune Support" and "Mental Boost."

Mtn Dew usually does a great job with the presentation of their cans and these shiny silver cans with a splash of color are no exception.  What better way to RISE and shine in the morning?
