We all hijack. Might as well not break the cycle-- I'm pretty high up on hijacking. Lol.

I got that Kokanee in a can. LEON.

Yea the can is great!...this is the only variation I have at the moment. That bottle is not mine..I kiped it of the net [] But I would like to have one of these bottles as it was our anthem beer when we were teenagers...played many of games of caps with that bottle![] [attachment=Kokanee.jpg]

I got hundreds & hundreds of old Canadian cans for sale if your Interested? Let me know. LEON.

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. I used to find those on the coast a lot, I think I knew they were Kokanees and I think I even had one with a label once, not sure what happened to it. Hemihampton, you wouldn't happen to have any British Columbia soda cans would you? I've always wondered whether any of those exist. I have one, a Lifestream Orange can, but it's pretty recent. Steel but with a stay-tab. Lifestream was a short-lived organic grocery store that, strangely enough, became the Nature's Path cereal company which was a lot more successful than the store. There are probably a few other BC grocery store brands and some juice cans, but do you know of any soda cans from companies that only produced soda?

Yea the Lifestream / Natures path is a neat story...I just have one can, an apple cider 10floz/284ml ... it's from about 1976-78, has a pull top...and that's as early as you'll get with Lifestream.These are the only BC cans I have but some are nationally distributed. The Lucky Strike is pure BC soda only. One of these Cans is an RO!...meaning only known example...guess which one? ....and sorry I know this question was directed to Leon!...my bad [] [attachment=bc soda cans.jpg]

 

[hemihampton]

Don't know, don't see anything unusual unless it's just a minor variation? I had like 6 different flavors of that Lucky Strike cone before. LEON.

 

[Canadacan]

Yea I suppose in the US it's not a big deal...unless the ones in the guide all have the newer side panel statement?, this one has Shasta Water Company. Any way very rare to find flavors other than cola for Canada ,this is tough!...for USA it's like Meh[] [attachment=Shasta lid, Vancouver.jpg] Note: this is a 12oz can not a 10oz

Oh, that Lucky Strike clears up a mystery I've been wondering about for a while now! I have a couple of Lucky Strike crates and I was wondering why I'd never seen a Lucky Strike bottle. Since one of the crates is a Mission crate, I figured they must have just been franchise bottlers. Now that's one to look out for! Probably out of my price range though. Eastern Ontario has the Pure Spring cones which are much more common and those too are out of my price range. My price range doesn't go very high. I only have one cone, a can that someone turned used for an arts and crafts project which I got for cheap and salvaged. It's American though.My Lifestream can looks a lot different, with a stylized forest scene (I think) instead of a fruit. Mine is orange soda.

I like that Shasta, never would have thought of the top as a place to find the local bottler's info. Never knew that there was a Shasta branch in Vancouver either. Another one to look out for!
