Supercans!

Do you remember supercans? Stretched cans of coke etc (500ml) that were replaced by the bottles we now have. Supercans gave me a feeling of power, superiority, contentment.

Those were the days!

Wasn't there already a thread on this in ATR, where someone posted that they're still on sale in certain countries?

I found an empty Fanta one during a recent clear-out at home.

Must clean it up and post a pic....

Yeah there was and, for the record, I got one in Budapest about two years ago. It's much better than the plastic bottle (taste wise).

A lot of shops sold little plastic attachments that would fit onto the hole left by the ring pull, and seal them.

How in Gods name did we even get through half a litre of fanta in one go, the joys of being young and getting sick after!

Growing up I used to visit friends that lived in a village about a mile away from where
I lived. We used to joke about the village as it was basically 2 pubs a church a post office
a chipper and a shop! it got a bit of a slagging about coming out of the dark ages...

I remember one of the Lads proudly voicing his opinion's about how modern the
place was becoming. He said
"we even have super cans"
