2:29 Your 1992 Test Market Diet Can if you stuck a pencil or something that's relatively thin and Long down into your can you could actually push up against the side of the can at the very bottom and help alleviate those dents. But of course if it's a sealed can but drained from the bottom then it might not even be worth it to you to open it to fix those dents.
Hey Ben! I started collecting Pepsi stuff around 2013 or so when I got a sealed bottle of Crystal Pepsi for Christmas from my dad. I always thought the soda was neat. After that I didn’t get hardcore into collecting until 2019. I’ve found a lot of common easy to find stuff on eBay but the real rare stuff I will search on foreign auction sites where I always have to run things to Google translate to talk to sellers. I also found a lot of the rare test market cans from a guy who used to be a Pepsi distribution manager who was just getting rid of his stuff on Facebook marketplace for cheap. There’s times I’ll think some items are so out of reach and so old I’ll never get them, then after a couple years of searching I get extremely lucky. So since these past couple months, I found and won the Pepsi clear bottle from 2005 (FINALLY) I finally had all the pieces to put a video like this together. Hope that helps!
I had a complete collection of the promotional Final Fantasy Potion cans by Suntory, but didn't keep those. Those were available around the same time as the Ice Cucumber Pepsi was. Didn't give me any HP though...
btw do you know what causes the bottles shrink like that? I've seen that happen on some more recent bottles too. Is it heat related? Also newer plastic bottles are such crap "drink wrappers" anyway...
Yes I do! It’s completely natural. Over time the carbonation in the bottle slowly sucks the plastic in like that and it stays pressurized like that until someone opens it. Or at least turns the cap until it “pfffsssts” Some people unaware that that happens will think the bottle is ruined, when in actuality in the collecting world, you’d rather have that than a non shrunken in bottle.

No problem! Crystal Pepsi is and always will be a cool drink!
Where do you get all of this stuff and how long have you been collecting?
