Ginger Ale, Anyone?

Now for some green.

Empty cans tend to collect in my pantry over the weeks, months, and years.  So let's see what Ginger Ales have collected.

First is Summit, exclusive to the grocery store Aldi.  Then there's a classic Schweppes can.  And finally, a small 7.5oz can of Canada Dry Fruit Splash, cherry flavored.

What color should we look at next week?

Patti's 1880's Pepsi

A couple of years ago a group of us visited Patti's 1880's Settlement in Kentucky.  It's a great place to spend the day.  There's food, crafts, waterfront walks complete with small lighthouse, marina, and plenty of shopping.

When I recently did a trash rescue of this Pepsi can at work, I was surprised to see the advertisement on the back of it.

Wow, I've been there!  And a Festival of Lights sounds like it'd be a great time.  We went in the summer, I think a trip in the winter could be just as fun, as long as you bring a coat.

I highly recommend this!

(I'll let you decide if I'm talking about Patti's or the Pepsi)

Five C4

My son has revealed his secret to staying awake on his drive to/from college.

Personally, I'd prefer to just get more sleep.  But at least his method helps my can collection.

Here's a selection of recent flavors: Jolly Rancher Peach, Jolly Rancher Watermelon, regular Orange Slice, Sour Gummy Splash, and Strawberry Blast.

They all sound so sweet, but not as much as he is for saving his cans for me.  

Half a Dozen Dews

There was a box in my pantry that had become part of the background clutter.  When I opened it recently I found a pile of cans waiting to be shown here.  They've probably been in there for a while, so most of these cans are older.  But they're all new to my collection.

Colorful.

These are all part of the Baja line.  The flavors include Laguna Lemonade, Passionfruit Punch, Cabo Citrus, Point Break Punch, the regular Taco Bell Baja Blast but with a newer design, and Caribbean Splash.  The only recent can in the bunch is the Cabo Citrus, and you can tell that from the updated Mountain Dew logo.

There are plenty of other new "old" cans coming up.  So like and subscribe and don't forget to hit that bell (Taco Bell).
