More Cans!

More cans collected in the past weeks.

Adirondack Black Cherry Soda

My wife sent me out to get ice cream one evening once the weather warmed up.  Turns out they only took cash but no problem!  I bought some soda and got cash back.  Adirondack Black Cherry Soda.

Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer

To round out my cans from our trip to the in-laws I found this can at a nice country store where we went for ice cream.  It's Pennsylvania Dutch Birch Beer.  Birch Beer tastes a lot like root beer but has a slightly distinctive bitter flavor to it too.  I'm not sure if Pennsylvania Dutch makes any other sodas, but I have at least one of them now.

Valentine's Day Diet Pepsi Can

Last posted I discussed how I was thrilled to find the regular Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi can since I only had the Valentine's Day one.  Well, imagine my surprise when I found this little gem in my in-laws recyclable bin.  I figured there was a Valentine's Day Diet Pepsi can but had reckoned I started my can collection too late to claim it.  No more!  To add to the thrill it was the only Valentine's Day can in the whole bag so I really felt like I found something well hidden.  Up on the shelf it goes!

Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi

I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of the latest cans I've found for my collection.  I also took the time a Saturday or two ago to construct a better shelf for my soda cans in the basement.  All that will be posted in the coming days.  First up, I was happy to find this can at my in-laws where we went for a cook out now that the weather is not all Jack Frosty.  I had the Valentine's Day heart shaped one but not the regular one.  Now I have both.  It's funny; now that I have this can I can't wait for the logo to change again just so it stands out on my shelves more.

The Racist Mountain Dew Commercial

Big time citrus soda Mountain Dew just pulled an internet ad that was deemed too racist.  It consisted of a woman victim needing to identify her attacker in a line up of guess what?...all black men.  Of course, there is one non-black suspect, which happens to be a goat, which taunts the women throughout the commercial.  The ad was attacked for continuing the stereotype that black males are violent thugs.

The 2013 Mountain Dew Commercial that is no more....

I suppose the free market drives people to complain about these kind of things.  However, for a soft drink that brands itself as the one and only drink with adolescent/young adult yarbels, the company seems to have shrunken away from the school yard bullies awfully quickly. Personally, I find myself offended that I can't find a clip of that ad anywhere on there internet without a shut down message claiming Pepsi Co. removed the video due to copyright violations.  This offend me because I think I should get to watch the ad myself and then decide if it is offensive enough to me to not forward.  Regardless, I think they should release a Mountain Dew can with a goat on it just to celebrate the fail.
