Strawberry Monster

Don't be afraid of a little fruit.

Monster Ultra Strawberry Dreams is nice.

Another co-worker now knows about my can collection.  I saw them drinking this and knew I didn't have the can, so I awkwardly asked if I could have the can when they were done.  Then I spent the next few minutes explaining the history of my collection and some of the treasures I've accumulated in the last 12.5 years (yes, my first post on the blog was April 11, 2011).  

They finished the drink, slowly handed me the can, and had a look on their face that clearly said, "You collect what, now?"

A Nice Surprise

Last week I was asked to stop by someone's house to pick up a few things to take somewhere else.  They said there was a surprise in the bag for me.

When I got there to pick up the stuff, I could see something peeking out of the bag at me... it was a can with a new 7UP design.

I hadn't seen this design yet.  And upon closer examination I found out this can is from Canada.

I haven't talked to them yet to find out the story behind the can or how they got it, but if it's interesting I'll be sure to update this post with the information.  

Ghost Sighting

While visiting someone last week, something colorful in their trash can caught my eye.

Halloween is over, but it's not too late to see ghosts.  I politely asked if I could take something out of their trash can and became the proud owner of a new can for my collection.

This is the second Ghost energy drink can in my collection.  The first one was strawberry flavor, this one is cotton candy.

As a collector, you always have to pay attention to your surroundings.  You never know what may be just out of sight...

Liquid Dream

Several weeks ago someone saved this can for me.

I'm not much of a fan of the orange dreamsicle flavor in anything, but I know some people who love it!  And they said this Monster Reserve energy drink was great.

Go try it.  Sounds like it'd be great on a hot, summer day.  But now winter's coming.
