Production can or test can? I can't see them using this ad today
Found this in a collection and had to have it for my weird can shelf. But I was wondering if it was actually produced? anyone else have one that held beer?

That can was actually produced as a drinking cup and given out during the Spring of 78 in the spring break areas of Florida like Daytona and Fort Lauderdale.
It is pretty common in older collections.

I have other spring break cans but I had never seen this one. I pick up a fair amount of collections. I am sure no beer company could get away with that these days.
It went on the shelf with the others. Thanks

It's referring back to a commercial Norm Crosby did for Natural Light back then "misconscrewed" was a word he used in his comedy act.

Yes, that zip top caught me kind of off guard. The flat is so common didn't know the zip counterpart was one of the rarest zips. Had I known I would have offered it to one of our local Wis collectors in our group.
I will be listing some bigger cans this week for the Thanksgiving ebay sales. Thanksgiving week is the biggest ebay week usually. If your down my way anytime stop in. Until I heal, I have lots of time on my hands.

Kind of curious how people feel about having lids put on these drinking cups. I hate having dust and debris get in them.
Something like these I will probably put a lid on. Just to keep the mice and bugs out if nothing else.

Personally, I think they should be left as they were originally intended.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.
