Read in USA Today that on or around May 15 cans of 7-up, A&W, Sunkist and Canada Dry will feature five members of the U.S.A. 1992 Olympics Basketball Dream Team.

I did some searching since those cans sound VERY COOL, and here is what I found: mediagallery.usatoday.com/Marketers+go+for+the+gold+with+Olympic+athletes/G3738?csp=ipmpgFive members of the 1992 men's basketball "Dream Team" will be featured on cans of Sunkist, 7-Up, A&W, and Canada Dry. NBA legend Earvin "Magic" Johnson is featured on Sunkist. Scottie Pippen, a member of 1992's "Dream Team," appears on cans of SunDrop. David Robinson, a member of 1992's "Dream Team," appears on cans of Canada Dry. Patrick Ewing, a member of 1992's "Dream Team," appears on cans of A&W Root Beer. Larry Bird, a member of 1992's "Dream Team," appears on cans of 7-Up. Here are the 5 cans... VERY COOL collection! I can't wait for these!  Attachments:

My wife was at the store yesterday, called me and say there was 7up cans with something "blue" along the top, but she couldn't tell what it was - so I told her, pick some up - I'll drink them.
Looked closer today, and it was the Larry Bird Olympic Cans! YEA! Guess it is May 15th, around the time they are suppose to be out.
I'm really looking forward to this set of cans.

On the DrPepperSnapple Facebook page, they linked to an article. The article itself just tells what we already know, and shows pictures of the cans that we know - but the picture that LINKS to the article includes a version of DIET SUNKIST of Magic Johnson. (So it looks like the cans may be on the "main" brand, and possible the "diet" brands also.) Ugh... I'm going to be buying a lot of pop this summer.  Attachments:

Ugh - I don't think they have Welchs in my area - they have Grape Sunkist in my area, so I don't think they care the Welchs - and the product locator doesn't even have welchs listed. www.drpeppersnapplegroup.com/locator |

Well today I was able to get the 6th can of this set - so all I'm missing now is the Grape Welchs can. No store in my area carries this - they carry the Grape Sunkist instead. The only exception is about an hour from here, my closest Sam's Club had Grape Welchs... of course not the special can, but if I'm back in that area next month, I know where to look. As a side note - the BOXES of the Grape Sunkist in my area have the Dream Team advertisement on them. (No special can) - but I'll keep my eye on them. Attachments:

I also am still searching for the elusive 7th can to complete the set.
If anybody has it, please let me know and I will reimburse for a 12 pack
