I wasn't feeling normal art this week so... I finally decided to render a dumb joke piece I've had in mind for a while.

A friend of mine has a unique collection of vintage soda cans, and I found this Mountain Dew competitor to be a striking design.

I had a sudden memory of this style of pop can. I had forgotten all about them for decades. I can't remember the last time I saw or used one of these. They vanished a long time ago without fanfare. I do remember the sensation of popping those cans open, and sometimes cutting my finger doing so. Do you remember these? #CanLid #design #PopCan #BeerCan #SodaCan #PopCulture #history #FoodHistory #cans
Did you know...

That there was a Warheads Sour! Green Apple Soda? Neither did I until I found it at the Dollar Tree.

I mean, I just had to try it. I love gimmicky sodas, even if they end up tasting terrible. This one, though, was a big surprise.

I poured some out for myself and each of my kids. We all took a sip and, at once, recognize that it tasted like biting into a sweet, green apple. No sour taste or aftertaste. It just tasted like a sweet, green apple. Weirdly realistic flavor, even more so than a regular green apple candy.

Looking at the ingredients list, it had a all sorts of malic acid - so it SHOULD have been sour. But, to us - no sourness. Just sweetness. The kids really liked it. We may be looking for it again next Dollar Tree visit.

TL;DR - Warheads Sour! Green Apple Soda is better than it has any right to be, actually tasting like a green apple and not very sour. Would drink again.

Some really bad news. Dr. Pepper has suffered a stroke. At 138 years old prognosis is iffy.

Does Howard's Soda Can Trick From Better Call Saul Work?

I’ve had soda cans erupt on me several times in my lifetime. I've also seen numerous theories pop up on the internet about how to prevent this from happening. Howard from Better Call Saul came

Bottoms Up: Soda Can Help with Almost Any Project

If there's any one thing that the average hacker is short on at a given moment (besides chips), it's transient small part storage. Just as new projects are built from small parts, diagnostics and teardowns of commercial equipment invariably result in small parts. We think [amenjet] may have the answer -- small parts holders made from the bottoms of soda cans.

You start by cutting the bottom off of an empty can however you like. In the first video after the break, [amenjet] scores the can on what could be a purpose-built jig before cutting along the line with tin snips, but you could use regular scissors if that's all you have. Then it's just a matter of shoving it into the circle around the perimeter of the print to secure the sharp edge.

The underside of the print is graduated and ends with a small hole fit for a disc magnet. To keep the prints from scratching the table, [amenjet] covered the bottoms with crushed velvet. After making about a dozen of these things, they CNC'd a tray to hold three of them, which you can see in the second video. Each cavity in the tray is lined with more crushed velvet for elegance and stability.

Between the concavity of the can bottom and that little lip, it should be particularly easy to actually retrieve a tiny part from the pile and grab on to it. Between the utility and the recycled aspect, this could easily be an entry into the second Challenge of the 2022 Hackaday Prize, which runs now until Sunday, June 12th. This round is all about reusing, recycling, and revamping anything and everything to keep it out of the landfill. Start your entry today!
