Title: Pop Can Filled With Air
Post by: Flightfanatic on February 28, 2010, 01:46:35 pm
Hello, I have a friend who works for pepsi, he gave me a Squirt can one day that he found when he was filling a machine that appears that it was never filled with pop. It is filled with air, but sealed closed...  I could imagine this being rare because Ive never seen one before... Has anyone else heard of this happening before?

No but years ago I had a pack of Camels that the label was facing the inside.  I actually still have it just because it was odd.  The pack has to be over twenty years old by now.

Any empty can is pretty cool.

Sorry it is not that uncommon for a can to be air filled. Many times it is done on purpose and they are given away to visitors or employees. I have many air filled cans that an employee of Shasta gave to me and used to have some that a Pepsi representative gave me as he knew I collect soda cans.
