Neat pepsi can

[scalebowler]

My roommate bought this at an antique store and gave it to me today. It was really cool looking and we compared it to a pepsi throwback can and it is almost identical. It looks great ontop of my pepsi machine and we found that it is the exact size for the can opener. I just thought this was really cool.

Nice gift!!
I was 12 in 1973, you could make all kinds of fun stuff out of the straight sided cans.

Loved those steel cans back in the day...they used to make a magnetic wrap that looked like a mountain dew or pepsi can and you could wrap your beer can and drive around all day long without the cops busting you

Don't forget making a chain from  top pull tabs that proudly hung from your rear view mirror

My grandmother used to cut the cans in panels and knit them into hats.  She did a lot of those in Stroh's Beer.  Similar to the one in the attached picture.  Wish I still had one!

Don't forget the tennis ball rocket launcher. You would can-punch a hole in the bottom of one and leave the top alone with the pull tab removed, tape two more cans on top of it with their top and bottoms cut out. I think we would put a little rubbing alcohol in the bottom one and light it through the can-punched hole. The tennis ball would fire out of it like a bazooka going 100-150 ft. up in the air.

It didn't hit me at first, but then I realized, wow, trash I tossed out as a kid  is showing up in antique shops.

Not to get off the topic ...But i was at Kroger the other day and i notice Coke Cola made there short lunch box can different. It looks like the old 6 oz juice can but it is a 7.5 oz  can. Anyone else seen this yet?

    Very impressive collection! Are those all steel cans? Look to be in pristine condition.
