    Jesus how did it survive so intact?

    I had a few coke cans from the 80s - the ones before the top narrowed in but lost them.

    Damn that’s unfortunate you lost them 80s cokes look very nice. I found the Fanta buried in some dirt I saw it the bottom poking out I thought it was some random modern can but I was shocked unfortunately the back of the can is bend at bit and the design was peeling off.

    I always enjoy the scene in 'Jaws' when the three lads are on the boat and Robert Shaw crushes a beer can in one hand. In response and as a visual joke, Richard Dreyfuss squashes a plastic cup in his hand. Most people under the age of 40 probably don't realise that when that movie was made back in the 1970s, you needed to be super strong to crush a drinks can in one hand. They don't make cans like they used to!
