I remember those R.W. Knudsen Spritzers. I quite liked them and was disappointed when they stopped selling them. They were similar to the San Pellegrino sodas but less tart. I don't remember Mango Tango specifically, it was long enough ago that I can't remember what the individual flavours were called.

I like seeing those 80s and 90s cans you find, way too recent for me to be interested in the bottles but the retro graphics on the cans are great!

when I google R W Knudsen it appeared they were still selling it , maybe its only in the US now ? I can't recall ever seeing it here , maybe bulk food stores sold it at some point ?

have found a lot of interesting cans lately , surprised by what was out there waiting to be found and rusting away in the wild

made some neat additions to display , was very pleased to find the crush - grape , country time lemonade and minute maid lemon lime cans even though there only from the early 80's , being that there metal and rusting away getting harder to find in good condition

is still some more cans at the main location I found last year , might go back next week and see what is still left , if anything good remains

once the bugs start to get bad here and plants start to grow up / leaves come out in trees will likely stop looking for cans as it be too difficult to find any

wasn't much that cleaned up well , was a 7 up , Hires Root Beer , Fanta Orange had a lot of colour , don't often find older Fanta cans in good condition for some reason , always seem to be poor condition , actually one of the nicer ones I've found so far


hadn't seen the Grand Prix - Lemon Lime before but doesn't surprised me that line had such a flavour as that brand seemed to have just about everything , but didn't clean up well despite having some colour left

these cans were found near a railway track in town , all pretty bad condition , also found some broken bottles nearby but mostly liquor , was a pepsi no deposit bottle

was a cplus - orange , RC cola , pepsi , unsure maybe coke or cola ? , one is too rusty to read anything , also another cplus but appears to be for grape , definitely says grape in French " raisin " , I have an aluminum cplus grape can so they did do that flavour but can is too damaged to clean

is a no name cola , a store brand made by dominion , very plain can , black and white

also a pepsi and crush orange , some carlton club cola , not as good condition as first though and newer as they have ml on them

and found 2 carling black label bottle caps , most of the colour still there

also found some cans but all in really poor condition , welchs grape aluminum , five alive , a and w root beer , Tahiti treat , minute maid , Schweppes ginger ale

couple more random finds , found along a small sideroad in some trees / leaves

- coca cola - late 60's era , different design than the coke cans I typically find

- Fanta root beer , early 80's era , mostly all there but some dents on back

- crush - homestyle apple , never heard of this one , apparently its from the late 70's but don't recall crush ever being known for apple juice , too bad its not in better condition , a lot of rust and damage but still some colour
