Anyone remember those Pop-up Coke cans?

They had a promotion back in the late 80s and early 90s, at the same time New Kids on the Block was endorsing them. They had the same size and weight of a regular coke can, but when you opened them they had money wrapped around a little white post that popped up. I think my dad got 5 or 20 bucks when it happened to him. My mom took it to work and it is now long gone. Wonder what it would go for in auction now-a-days, heh.

I remember that contest Coke had. After a baseball game one night, one of the parents brought cokes and snacks for all of us. One of the guys on the team won $20.

the problem is, how can you tell the difference between the winning can and the regular can without opening it first? If you open it, it is no longer in mint condition.

Supposedly the winning cans contained faded blue circles on the bottom of the can.

How very mature of you to embarass a member in your sig for a mistake that he's already admitted and apologized for.

Only about as immature as insulting someone for using a nonexistent word before going to dictionary.com
why can't anyone take a joke?
