A New Big K

 One of my new cans from the guys at work:

Sure, I have a lot of Big K cans.  But this caffeine free diet cola was a can design I didn't have yet.  And now I do.

One thing about leaving my previous job was losing access to new soda cans because they provided drinks for the employees.  But whether a company provides the drinks or not, workers will drink soda.  And that means there will always be a chance of finding a new can...

Out with the Old

A few weeks ago a couple people at work found out I have a can collection.  Since then, they've both contributed cans I didn't have.  And in return, I was able to help one of them with their collection.  But first, a little history...

Years ago I decided not to collect beer cans, mostly because there are even more beer cans than soda cans and I had to draw the line somewhere.  So when I answered a Craigslist ad for 800+ cans, most of them were soda cans but there were some beer cans included.  The soda cans were added to my collection and the beer cans were put in boxes in the garage.

So when one of the guys at work told me he collects Budweiser things, I told him I had some cans for him.

He specifically collects the Budweiser and Busch brands, so I went through my beer can boxes and took him over a dozen older cans for his collection.

You never know when or where you'll meet another collector.  And by giving him some cans I didn't even want, he's going to keep an eye out for special edition or novelty cans I may not have.  

Hey Franklin Covey, THAT'S how you network!

Happy Anniversary

 Someone gave a can to me last week I hadn't seen yet...

It's actually from 2021 and marks Pepsi's 85th anniversary.  Started in 1936, Pepsi has been one of the Big Boys in the soda industry for decades.  

And unless it gets added to the list of people and things that have recently been cancelled, Pepsi should be here for decades to come.  As the can says, "85 years and counting."

Too Soon?

 

With A Great Can Collection Comes Great Responsibility

 It's true.  

What's the hot thing right now?  Spider-Man No Way Home.  

My son saw these limited edition G FUEL energy drink cans and had to buy them.  Spider-Man has been his favorite in the Marvel universe for a while.  And of course we both loved the new movie, which is what these cans are based on.

They are both Radioactive Lemonade flavored, so any day now my son should start showing some signs of superhero powers.  But it's ok if he doesn't.

Happy New Year!
