Green Pepper

I was at an event recently and noticed one of the people I was with drinking from a dark green can.  What an odd color for a soda can.

It's the new Cherry Dr Pepper can design.  "Wow, I want that!" I said.  They gave the empty can to me when they were done, but where we were and with all that was going on I wasn't able to tote an empty soda can with me all evening.  But they had more at home.

So this weekend I received a full can from them.  After bottom-opening the can and having my son drink the soda, the can is mine.

Wouldn't you like to be have a green pepper can too?

Me and My RC

 The title says it all.

I got this can from my son, so technically it should be "Me and His RC."

Valentine's Day Crush

 Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and it's true... I have a new Crush...

I saw someone at work drinking one of these a couple weeks ago.  I had no idea Crush had a new can design.  So after a lengthy explanation of my can collecting hobby, I was able to score a can for myself from them.

So what does Valentine's Day have to do with this soda?  Nothing, unless you really love Orange Crush.

Harley-Davidson Giveaway

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about taking some old beer cans to a collector at work.  It was during the search in my garage for those cans that I also found this Harley-Davidson beer can.

There is another person I work with who rides a Harley and has a collection of Harley-Davidson memorabilia and collectibles.  I figured they didn't have a beer can, so I took it to them and they loved it!!

Collecting isn't just about receiving things to grow your own collection, it's also about giving to help others' collections grow.  It's really fun when it's a community effort.

[And now I step down from my soapbox to prepare next week's post...]
