Monster Variants

In February of this year I featured a Monster Energy Ultra Rosa can.  It had a red/pink top which matched the color of the rest of the can.  But recently I ended up with this silver-topped version pictured below.

In January of this year I featured a Monster Energy Ultra Sunshine can.  The words "Zero Sugar" were printed in white.  Recently I ended up with this "Zero Sugar" can with the words printed in black.

So it depends on how far you want to take your collection.  Are you happy with just having one can for each flavor?  Or do you feel the need to find every version of that flavor, all color differences and variations of text?

I've gotta collect them all!

A Short Week

This week I'm showing two short cans.  


I recently got this newer 7.5oz Coca-Cola Zero Sugar can.  Nothing too fancy about it other than its nice red/black contrast.

I also found this 8oz can of Shasta ginger ale in my pantry.  Not sure where I got it or how long it's been in there, but it's time to move it to the collection with the rest of the cans.

And I just noticed the red and green colors of the cans.  This could have been a "Christmas in July" post had I written it a few weeks ago.

Colorful Monsters

Monster Energy drink sure has some neat cans.  Here are two more of them.


The first can is Ultra Fiesta Mango.  You can barely see some of the artwork on the left side of the can, but both sides are decorated with silver images of skeletons playing various musical instruments, almost in a Brazilian Carnival style.

The other can is Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red.  Again, it's hard to tell in the pic but both sides of the can have artwork.  The left side shows pink oval-shaped bunnies and bears skipping along merrily among the flowers.  The right side has blue evil-looking shapes with sharp corners that look like they're hungry for an oval-shaped meal.

Two neat cans.  And fun too.

4 Poppi

Here's a new brand of beverage for my collection.  It's called Poppi.

What really stands out are the bold colors, the simple artwork, and the matte finish of the cans.  This is a prebiotic soda to help promote a "healthy gut", as one can says.

There are many flavors, but the four I now have are Doc Pop, Raspberry Rose, Strawberry Lemon, and Watermelon.  The names alone make my mouth water.

These were given to me by someone else who drank them, so I'm not sure if the soda itself stands up to all the praise I've given the cans but I'm willing to give on a try to find out some day.
