Super cute Fievel you have in the corner. I have three of the movies. I still need to find, "The Mystery of the Night Monster". Dr. Pepper is my favorite. I'm trying not to drink soda. If I'm going to add up calories I need to save them for the Kool Aid. I remember the wax cups. I used to scratch it off with my fingernail. I'm not sure why I did that.

@@lisae7976 thanks! I love the American Tail movies. I used to have a Fievel backpack as a kid. And I hear ya, soda or Kool-Aid, tough choice!

[@lisae7976]

​@@TheCassettePhaseyou're welcome. I do too. I'll bet the backpack was adorable! Themed backpacks are fun. They are hard to find now.

Great vid! Thanks for the shout-out! The next can on my want list is a Jolt soda. Do you remember those? As a middle school kid, my school had a Coke machine in the gym, so I would buy Mr. Pibb (Coke's answer to Dr. Pepper). I'm still hunting for more cans. I did add a second can to my collection recently. The gold Yoda can from the Pepsi Star Wars promo in the 90s. I've been searching thrift stores near me trying to find a cool display shelf for the cans but am striking out so far..

[@TheCassettePhase]

I do remember Jolt! It was super sweet, like over the top sugary haha. And I actually liked Mr. Pibb a lot, it was also in our school vending machines. That Star Wars can sounds amazing, good luck with finding a shelf!

[@BlasphemousMusic]

you can still buy jolt to this day. They have a website but it says its at dollar general

[@TheCassettePhase]

@@BlasphemousMusic good to know!

[@sirwin7776]

oh boy I really don't need to start a new collection...if i do I will blame you, haha

[@TheCassettePhase]

Haha I accept the full blame!

[@BlasphemousMusic]

yeah looks like some are regional because I knew of big red but didnt have it in places I was. I cant do caffeine anymore and also quit sugary drinks so ive been drinking zero drinks now. Its super hard to find caffeine free zero coke and other stuff, basically like a rare can.

[@TheCassettePhase]

That makes sense. And I can see how those would be hard to find!
