It looks like these Holiday Polar Bear cans with the WWF logo will be in other countries as well. Here is one from Russia, but it is a red can, not white. Attachments:

It looks like there are 2 sizes of the can in the USA, not sure if it will be the same in Canada. The Canadian cans do not say Coca Cola in smaller script under the baby polar bears like the US cans do. Attachments:

In a Facebook promotion that launched Oct. 1st, Coca-Cola is inviting Australians to 'Share a Coke with a Mate' in a $5 million campaign as summer heats up down under. Cans and bottles with some of Australia's most popular names have been popping up over the past two weeks, cans branded Jess, Sam, Kevin, Edward, Matt and Kate. Coke is hoping that 268 million sodas will sell during the next three months as the company swaps its branding for one of 150 of Australia's most popular names, the first time Coke has changed its packaging in 125 years. If your name isn’t one of the top 150, stop at a Coke kiosk in one of 18 Westfield-owned shopping centers for free personalization. www.brandchannel.com/home/post/2011/10/03/Coca-Cola-Australia-Share-a-Coke.aspxAttachments:

I am not a collector of Energy drinks, but saw these 2 in the store and picked them up. They are the first aluminum cans I have ever seen that are wrapped instead of painted. If anybody wants any energy drink cans from Canada, I will trade for Coca Cola cans. Just let me know what you are looking for. There are many brands here, but I am not sure which ones if any, are available only in Canada. Attachments:

Hi Guys, I have several cans I have added stuck in my pending cans area. I guess I wanted to get other opinions on how different a can needs to be to have it added to the museum. I know there are different variations on certain cans, and some differences are more subtle than others. So, my question is this: How subtle do the differences have to be before a can can be added to the museum? I have attached a photo as an example. The can on the right is already in the museum. It is a steel can with the normal red coca cola colours. The can on the left is one I tried to add. It is aluminum, has glossy red colours, and as you can see by the pictures of the back of the cans, slight variations on the recycling symbols. The steel can has a painted white bottom, and the colours are slightly different in the circle around the coca cola logo. To me, these are completely different cans, which is why I have them both in my collection. But do they warrant 2 spots in the can museum? I don't want to create more work for you admins, and won't try adding variations of cans if you don't want them included. I guess I was looking for other members opinions as well. Attachments:

I guess we will find out tomorrow if Energy drinks will be only sold over the counter by pharmacists in Canada...... www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1065181--health-minister-to-set-new-rules-for-energy-drinks?bn=1#articleHealth minister to set new rules for energy drinks Published On Wed Oct 05 2011 * Article Joanna Smith Ottawa Bureau OTTAWA—Energy drinks could soon be sold only in pharmacies if the federal health minister decides to agree with expert advice to label the caffeinated beverages as containing stimulant drugs. Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq will announce Thursday whether she has decided to accept the recommendations of the Expert Panel on Caffeinated Drinks convened by Health Canada, which called for the drinks to be sold over the counter in pharmacies, as are painkillers and other medications. A government official confirmed Aglukkaq will unveil the new energy drink plan at the University of Ottawa sports complex on Thursday morning but would not say whether it would go so far as to limit the sale of caffeinated soft drinks — such as Red Bull, Monster and Rockstar — to drugstores under the direct supervision of a pharmacist. “The plan is going to be a balanced plan,” said the official. “It will put health first, but it will respect people’s right to choose what they eat or drink.” New Democrat MP and health critic Libby Davies said there is a need for more accurate labelling and better education — especially for parents and children — about what these drinks contain, but relegating them to the drugstores might not be the most effective approach. “I think we have to ask the question: what difference would that make? You can make something less accessible, but I think education is really important and proper labeling, so even parents are aware what is actually contained within a particular substance, within a particular drink,” said Davies. The details of the report submitted to Health Canada in November 2010 became public only last month after Postmedia News obtained a copy through Access to Information legislation. Adopting its recommendations would set a global precedent for regulating the caffeinated soft drinks, with a statement from the Canadian Beverage Association last month indicating the industry would be angry. “The panel’s recommendations are completely unsubstantiated in science and their conclusions are unreasonable,” the industry association wrote in a news release Sept. 21. “All forms of coffee and tea would fall into the same definition. Given that over 90 per cent of the caffeine in Canadians’ diets comes from coffee and tea, it is therefore perplexing that these beverages would not be subject to the same demanding requirements as energy drinks,” said the statement. Even Davies raised that issue. “I do think it’s a bit of a Pandora’s box, because we’re talking about caffeine and clearly some of these so-called energy drinks are being marketed to youth, but when you talk about caffeine levels, there are also youth who are drinking coffee that might have the same or more caffeine,” said Davies, who added she is waiting to see what Aglukkaq has to say.
