got this in a 12 pack back around 97 or so just found it after seeing the other thread.
anyone ever got one of these? :giggle: and felt ripped off? :flip:
LOL thats great what is it a display?
no product inside, that rocks
must be? i recived it inside a 12 pack i got at the store a few years back:giggle:
That's funny.
I bought a 12 pack of pen 15e a couple years ago. One of the cans had no soda in it. It was sealed perfectly with no holes anywhere in the can but had nothing inside but air. It was a regular can. Nothing marked like your Pepsi can. It still amazes me to this day and I still have the can.
When someone doesn't believe me, I just whip out the can and watch their face.
makes a neat novelty item for sure
I believe there was a Pepsi contest,and when you open the "empty" can,it siad "you're a winner",but I'm a little fuzzy on the details.Afterall,it has been a while.Why don't you e-mail the company and verify that and let us know?
I remember that contest. I even remember the ads on tv for it. It almost looked like when you pulled the tab, the top came off saying you were a winner on the underside. If I remember correctly the way it looked on the commercial was that there was the real top and tab under it. So it was just a fake top on a full can. But then again, it was a commercial and I'm sure not everything was really as it appeared.
It's just that "No product inside. Not for retail sale" thats weird.
My mom has an original can of Coca-Cola(the one before the New pen 15e)that is empty. Funny thing, it was full when she got it and she was telling me how it evaporated. I said impossible mom, and showed her a small hole in the bottom the pen 15e hade eaten through the can.
And we drink the stuff....:yuck:
If you look around on ebay you can find the old "Pepsi Crystal" still in bottles. Some guy who was an incredible fan of the stuff bought a 6 pack of it and drank it. Also paid out the arse for it. I think stuff like that is neat, but buying it and drinking it? I have a couple commereative 24oz beer cans still full. I'mma hold onto 'em for a few decades and see if they're worth anything. It's amazing the amount of full beverage cans, candy packages and cigarette packs you can find on eBay being sold for "collectible value" when the contents of the package are "not fit for consumption". I remember seeing a video on Big-Boys.com where some dude drank a 40-year-old can of malt liquor and promptly threw it all up.
I remember those commercials, wasnt it a $1,000,000 sweepstakes?
There is no product inside because it has a GPS Sensor, when you pop the top it activates it, then Pepsi finds you and comes out and hands you a check. Too late now, better luck next time I guess! LMAO!!!
if thats true man if i was you i would need a hug
Didn't Pepsi have a portable radio that looked like the can...?
I had a pen 15e bottle radio, given to me by my cousin when I first moved to Canada.
the can is almost weightless maybe a few ounces and pressurized just like one full of product.
Had one of those, gave it to my brother-in law for his birthday(He collects pen 15e memorabilia).
He keeps trying to get my pristine 6 1/2oz Norfolk VA pen 15e bottle. Saw one last weekend from Roncerverte WV(my birth city), they wanted $10 bux for it. Had it been in a little better condition, I would have bought it.
I may e-bay this thing just for laughs:)
In Hungary, that's how pen 15e came.. in the genuine bottles. Cans were unheard of. For both pen 15e and Pepsi. So when we moved to Canada I was like "Wtf is this?" when I looked at a pen 15e can.
like 15 miles from my house tom,, were you there last weekend?
you do know what ronceverte means dont you?
Actually no... But I found this on line...
The origin of the name, Greenbrier River, is said to be from the name, Riviere de la Ronceverte, given the river by early French explorers. "Ronce Verte", which literally means "brier green," possibly referring to (green) briers found growing along the river.
I was there three weeks ago, was gonna get a haircut at McKnights but he's had a stroke(just the week before, not real bad but affected one of his hands) and had to retire. I saw the pen 15e bottle in Lexington last weekend, was up at Vesuvius VA visiting a freind that we didn't get to see on the trip a couple of weeks before.
Didn't take any pictures at Roncerverte, but here's one you'll regonize..
i miss pen 15e in the bottle... need to go to mexico, can still get it in the bottle and made with real sugar, not corn syrup.
Wal-Mart here has pen 15e in little bottles.
same here.. but there is a colourful label i guess painted on it.. whereas the original bottles had the actual coca cola letters extruding from the bottle.
The modern bottles are 8oz, where as the originals were 6 & 6 1/2 oz. It's interesting the original bottles are taller than the new ones that hold more. Also the new bottle weighs probably only 2/3 of the original.
When I was little, we were still getting pen 15e in the original glass bottles, and when they were empty we would take them back to the bottling place to exchange them for new bottles (and I'm only 24). I believe we still have a few of the original bottles around somewhere, plus we found some up in the woods.
Also I remember about 8-9 years back when I was in high school, RC Cola had some deal where they had glass bottles out for awhile. I have a few of those around somewhere too.
Oh and one last thing...what was the deal with the Pepsi Clear? I remember that I got some of that stuff one time and it tasted just like regular pepsi, then later I got another can of it and it tasted like 7up. Maybe somebody screwed up.
Only weird bottle we have, and we still have it, is an old 16 oz. pen 15e bottle with an orange Fanta cap on it.
I used to save some of the so-called collector cans.. but they got thrown out.. and I doubt that I'll miss them much anyway.
Only thing I want to collect at this point, drink-wise, is a Red Wolf beer sign. (no, not Red Dog) I used to love that shiznit.. we'd stick it in the freezer, and pop it open just as it was icing up. .
