I know that 7-up occasionally does some novelty cans with their logo upside down. That's not what I'm after here.
Many times a soda can will get gunk on the top. The modern design has a nasty little groove around the inside of the top that seems designed to trap gunk. And then you have to clean
it out before you open the can.
It really, really pisses me off when a restaurant serves you a can of soda and opens the damned thing for you. Then you don't get the opportunity to clean the top first.
At a convenience store, who knows what might be on top of that can. Maybe the night clerk sits on top of a stack of cans in the back when he dingles his dongles to the latest Hustler.
So I thought it would be better if the cans were upside down during storage and transportation. But the makers seem to be really uptight about presenting their expensive graphics. So print them upside down - i.e., so they look right when the cans are ass-end-up. Then, when you go to drink the stuff, you turn the can over, open, and enjoy.
The cans will stack equally well all up or all down.

You've never seen a can with a ring of gunk on the bottom? |
|
| |
I think someone invented a utensil that can be used to suck liquids out of a container without having to touch one's lips to said container. It's called a straw. |
|
| |
You mean you never lick the lid after you open a can of soda? That's my favorite part. |
|
| |
hey, simple is always best! not you, dear. (too hot to sleep btw) |
|
| |
What miscellany might be picked up on the "top" of the can where it is in contact with the shelf, floor, etc. where the cans are stored? |
|
| |
My my this is a cool idea! No I never use a straw and I have NEVER EVER seen a soda can with gunk in the ring, EVER. |
|
| |
It's to much work to open the droor right next to me to get a straw. |
|
| |
My,my what an interesting world you live in. |
|
| |
P.S. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! |
|
| |
Thank you for reinforcing what ( … sits on top of a stack of cans in the back … ) I already know. |
|
| |
Good to see you back, qb. |
|

They keep leaving cans in puddles on the floor / on dirty floors which could have anything on them. I propose we start printing the labels the right way up again so you don't end up with gunk in it! |
|
| |
You're creating a problem to solve a problem. Better just using some disposable wrapping. Wrap each can in cling-film which stays on it until the sale at which point the customer removes it and - hey presto - no gunk.. |
|
| |
Now there's a simple yet brilliant solution to the problem, [britboy]. I wonder why they don't do that. |
|
| |
The best way to combat this is to buy your beer in keg form or 30 pack form. |
|
| |
In Italy the pepsi cans have a removeable
plastic cap. That keeps all the gunk out. |
|
| |
Or perhaps buy your drink in a bottle?? |
|
| |
dingles his dongles? what on earth does this mean. dongles suggests more than one - and hustler suggests something rude. dingling? some sort of improvised testicle dance i imagine. |
