Caffeine Free Coke Zero

I found a new can shortly after it was released.  Apparently, Coke Zero is doing great.  So great that they decided to release a Caffeine Free Version.  It came out this very month and I picked up a 12 pack at my local store.  I think the black and gold can is rather stylish.

The target audience is apparently also people like me: young adult males (just look at the official site.) Diet Coke is too womanly, so the Coke Zero line is targeted towards men.  Interestingly, it was already available in France and Japan, but not here.  To correct this oversight of leaving North America out, a petition was made to bring it here.  It only had 5 signatures, but I guess that was enough!

It's Still Going On...

It's been some time since I've last posted.  But less you think I have given up on my soda can collecting habit and written it off as some childish fad, here is an updated picture of the "basement" where the cans in my collection are located.

Not bad, huh?  Back in February I only had a photo of 15 cans. I will try to be more diligent in posting...perhaps not once a day but a goal of once a week.  As a side note, I set a goal of having at least 100 cans by summer.  Well, it certainly is summer now and I have exceeded my goal and have a total of 123 different soda cans in my collection.  As always, what the mind can conceive and believe, it CAN achieve.(See what I did there?  I am awesome.)

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.
